Struggle for Justice
Struggle for Justice & Specificity of Place and Context is important to the Beloved Community Charlotte. Our collective covenant proclaims
-
We will collectively analyze our individual and collective experiences and needs to strategize for taking collective action toward justice.
-
We commit to nonviolent collective resistance of the external policies, norms, and systems that diminish the abundant life God intends for all creation.
-
We will honor the native land when we gather. An example is found here..
-
We will stay attuned to social issues and concerns in our city.
-
We will discern where it is best for BCC to gather. We commit to taking care of the place in which we gather, with hands on labor and monetary funds.
