Women, Work, & Calling: Practicing Justice & Mercy Through Our Work (Webinar)

Event details

Scripture reminds us what is good and what the Lord requires of his followers: “To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8) When it comes to acting justly or loving mercy, you’re not alone if volunteering with a local nonprofit or giving to charitable causes come to mind.

But what if living justly was more than an occasional act—what if it were an attitude or posture we adopted in all of life? What if we could pursue mercy and justice in any type or work or role?

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Kimberly Deckel, Executive Pastor at Church of the Cross Austin, Director of Faith, Work, Mercy, and Justice at City to City North America, and author of The Missional Disciple: Pursuing Mercy and Justice at Work and Adrienne Tafilowski, Executive Director of Mile High Workshop, a second chance work program in Denver, Colorado.

Available worldwide. Replay provided (registration required).
