Description

Part of our Theologies of Transformation and Actions for Justice Series During this session, we have the privilege of welcoming Diane Rapaport to give a reflection on our eighth principle on ‘Barriers and Bridges to the Common Good.' Diane is a member of Temple B’nai Shalom in Benton Harbor. We discuss our eighth Interfaith Action principle, which states: 'We advance the value of the COMMON GOOD as an essential guard against greed and power. Democracy without values of justice, equity, inclusion, and public responsibility results in an individualism which threatens our common good. In striving for the common good, we believe in a metric of equality of outcome, not a metric of opportunity. We are aware that patterns of consumerism and materialism impact the fulfillment of our common good and also threaten the future of our common home.'

Interfaith Action (SW Michigan Peace & Justice Collaborative) is a coalition of various faith communities who understand that we are stronger when we act together. In a public policy climate where the most vocal voices are narrow and sectarian, Interfaith Action seeks to bring justice-oriented and interfaith voices back into the conversation. The overarching purpose of Interfaith Action, woven from differing faith traditions, is the expression of Love in Action for the healing of our world. Interfaith Action’s work is done through our working groups and alongside community partners.
