Thirty-four Haitian migrants residing at the Boston Rescue Mission were unable to attend classes, not due to a lack of motivation, but because they did not possess the essential winter gear for their commute. Recognizing this as an opportunity to put our faith into action in service to others, A Faith That Does Justice (AFTDJ) stepped in to assist them.
Let us stand against any attempt to diminish the human dignity of the Jewish people and all those whose lives are threatened by the hatred of others. Instead, may we witness to a God-like love for all.
As people of faith, may we offer healing and forgiveness throughout the Holiday Season to those who are unable to empathize and act upon the plight of so many who suffer in our midst. And as we reach out to those who lack the basic goods of God’s creation, may we never rest until all people, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or state of life, can sit at a table of Thanksgiving as the people they are meant to be.
