Repairers of the Breach – LIJWJ Faith Conference in December!
This December we hope you’ll join the LIJWJ faith community for an engaging and thought-provoking conference – “Repairers of the Breach”: How Faith and Community Partners Can Build a Just Long Island Economy. Repairers of the Breach is open to all clergy, congregants, and individuals from all faith traditions (and secular folks too!) interested in participating in discussions on the intersection of morality, economics, and movement building.
The workshop lineup is packed full of topics and questions that cut to the core of why LI is the way it is, and what needs to be done to undo the centuries of harm to marginalized groups that have taken place here. Each workshop will be facilitated with a panel of faith and community leaders immersed in their fields of expertise. They include:
- Interfaith Perspectives on Principles of Economic Justice
