Faith & Justice

Faith & Justice Team – A Call to Advocacy

About Us
Advocacy means “to speak or plead on behalf of another.” Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church understands that hands-on help for people living in poverty, the vulnerable, and the oppressed, whether around the corner or around the world, is incomplete when we don’t question why those conditions exist. What government policies need to change? Do we need to speak truth to power as a way to love our neighbor and to do justice in society?

Faith & Justice Team sponsors adult forums to educate about current events and issues in our society where our faith may be calling us to seek understanding and then provides ways that we can speak out and ask those in positions of power to make needed changes.

Currently, the team leader is Beth DeHaven. Contact her at bethadehaven@gmail.com to join the team or to find out other ways to get involved with advocacy work at OSLC

Gun Violence Prevention – Progress and Grief

Our letters asking our representatives in Congress to work across the aisle to prevent deaths from gun violence helped to secure passage of the first bipartisan federal gun safety legislation in almost three decades! While we celebrate this success, and know that lives will be saved, we mourn with Highland Park, IL, as 7 people were killed and 40 more injured when a sniper rained bullets on the crowd at a 4th of July parade. The epidemic of gun violence continues. OSLC Faith & Justice Team invites you to follow two links for more information about what laws passed (Federal-GVP-Legislation Info) and Pastor Leta’s thoughts and resources shared on June 1 that continue to be needed: (Wednesday Wanderings).
