"So no mater how singularly focused we may be on our worthy goals of peace justice, and equality, they actually can't happen without an undergirding sense that we belong to each other. Seek first the kinship of God, then watch what happens." Fr. Greg Boyle wrote in his book, Barking to the Choir.
Join us on August 6 at the Kaleidoscope Summer Online Institute and learn from Fr. Greg Boyle, the founder of Homeboy Industries. We will have amazing and insightful conversation about the Power of Radical Kinship. Of course, we will also learn how the kinship-based social businesses sustain this life-changing ministry.
Music and prayers will be provided by Jeannine Otis, who is the director of music of St. Mark’s Church In-the-Bowery in New York City She has worked for years with communities labeled as "at-risk" and focuses in many settings on developing programming that addresses social justice issues.
The workshop for the day will focus on Transforming Your Ministry to be More Relational, that is, how to seek first the kinship of God.
"We stand there with those whose dignity has been denied. We locate ourselves with the poor and powerless and the voiceless. At the edges, we join the easily despised and the readily left out. We stand with the demonized so that the demonizing will stop. We situate ourselves right next to the disposable so that the day will come when we stop throwing people away." from Fr. Boyle's book, Tattoos on the Heart.
