A new post on nextreformation refers to a recent conference in Toronto about restoring justice. If anyone's interested, follow the link on the post to hear from a participant.
Just glancing at it, I'm guessing there are probably lots of thoughts that can be filtered and used with kids.
Sometimes we shy away from including our children in pursuits related to justice and mercy, especially if it involves potentially dangerous people or situations.
But what does it mean for them to practice the justice and mercy that Jesus taught us in their own lives, among their peers - at home, at school, at church, in their neighborhood? Can a child identify opportunities and respond with Jesus as a model? What does justice look like through the eyes of a child?
