Since we first began the Brooklyn Jubilee ministry in 2006, it was clear that many of us are concerned about social and economic justice, but few feel equipped to engage with the problems that surround us and have an impact on them. Christians in the Church are (hopefully) asked to wrestle with Biblical call to serve the poor, but struggle to find meaningful ways to get involved.
This blog will aim to encourage and challenge us with thoughts from the Bible on questions of social justice, stories from of the ministry of Brooklyn Jubilee, and other issues affecting the life of low-income New Yorkers. We hope you’ll join in the discussion and help us develop an active network of supporters, advocates, and others with food for thought on complex and critical issues.
