Advent & Justice with Restoring Justice Session 1

How do we begin to see the intersections of incarceration, race, and faith? What are the implications of God coming into our world in the person of Jesus? What does it mean for us to be a people of a just King & ruler who took up residence in our midst to deal with sin and evil, especially injustices? Restoring Justice has teamed up with Church partners and friends to explore these questions together in our second annual Advent & Justice Series. Together, we'll explore the dehumanizing effects of the criminal legal system and discover the implications of our redemption accomplished through Jesus, the promised messiah. There are so many polarized visions of "justice" in our western world today, competing for our imagination and allegiance. We need a renewed sense of mishpat (justice) and what it means to embody it, and what, if any, bearings it might have on our criminal legal system in the following sessions:

12/1 6pm CT | Session 1 - What Is Justice?
12/8 6pm CT | Session 2 - Race, Incarceration and Incarnation
12/15 6pm CT | Session 3 - Restoring A Shared Vision of Humanity
12/22 6pm CT | Session 4 - What Is The Future of Mishpat (Justice)?
