As Christians, we can't turn a blind eye to our overuse of plastics. Many of our sacred symbols, like communion cups, nativity scenes, Easter eggs, or even Jesus figurines, contribute to the plastics crisis. dojustice.crcna.org/article/reduce…
"Good self-care isn't about more bubble baths and chocolate. It's about learning how to build a life you don't need to escape from." dojustice.crcna.org/article/transf…
🏈 Thanks to you our listens could fill a football stadium - the O'Kelly–Riddick Stadium in Durham, North Carolina to be exact. 🏒For our Canadian listeners Scotiabank Centre in Halifax Nova Scotia would be packed with our listens. #listentodojustice

Thank you to everyone who contacted us this week about Do Justice prayers - we experienced technical difficulty with this website that has now been resolved. dojustice.crcna.org/article/justic…
The hospitality that we are talking about is a hospitality that Jesus embodied. From my perspective, I think there are at least three recognizable stages: common, widening, and mutual hospitality. dojustice.crcna.org/article/toward…
There are a lot of disheartening things happening in the church, and because our society feeds on negative news, we have to work that much harder to guard our hearts and remember God is still present and still at work. dojustice.crcna.org/article/system…
If you're going to see the Sound of Freedom movie read this blog! "Survivors have also shared with me the harm that sensationalized stories have on them; when they share their own stories, they are not considered as valid or as serious." loom.ly/cen1DrY
As a Christian, I am spending time wondering how Jesus calls us to respond. What attitude or posture might he call us to - not just from a theological perspective, but also from a deep desire to see real change and difference? dojustice.crcna.org/article/mercy-…
Many people are afraid of strong emotions but the Old Testament Psalms demonstrate that God is not afraid of our feelings. loom.ly/3Jm1D4o
Welcome Corps is an option that puts the financial and logistical responsibility on individuals/groups for sponsoring refugees. Canada has been using a Private Sponsorship model for decades, and many churches in Canada report experiencing success. dojustice.crcna.org/article/new-re…
The theme of this week's prayers is violence and praying for peacemaking. dojustice.crcna.org/article/justic…
And what about you, dear reader? How have you experienced the joys (and profound sorrows) of imperfection? Shall we band together and form an on-line IA community (“Imperfectionists Anonymous”)? dojustice.crcna.org/article/joys-i…
The U.S administration has introduced a new refugee resettlement program called 'Welcome Corps'. Churches and individuals now have the opportunity to sponsor and resettle refugees without the direct support or financial reliance of resettlement agencies. loom.ly/o4yrZKM
Today, June 20th, marks World Refugee Day—an opportunity to recognize the strength of all of those around the world who have been forced to flee their homes. Now more than ever we must encourage Congress to invest in our capacity to welcome refugees. loom.ly/Yd3bbmc
Creator has named us caretakers, made to nurture and to tend Image-bearers, who also on earth do depend How will we once more all creation, befriend? dojustice.crcna.org/article/earth-…
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. - Psalm 19:1-2 dojustice.crcna.org/article/justic…
