but to do justice, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God?"
- Micah 6:8
"The world, as it is, is the enemy of God. The world, as it is, is the enemy of the people of God. The world, as it is, is the enemy of those who, while claiming no belief in God, are devoted to creating a just society and act with such courageous conscience that they put the institutional church to shame... The world, as it is, employs nationalism, propaganda, racism, civil religion and class enmity to bolster entrenched systems, corporations and institutions. All of which is offensive to God and to those who seek to do what is just."
- Dennis A. Jacobsen, Doing Justice: Congregations and Community Organizing" (Fortress Press, 2001)
