In the late 17 and early 1800’s a group of Christians came together in England, unified by a common conviction regarding the role their faith was to play in their public pursuit of the common good.

In choosing this title for the series, we hope to establish a framework whereby we understand the pursuit of justice as not ancillary, but essential to discipleship of heart and mind.
