		<title>Social Justice Handbook</title>

If you are interested in effectively influencing others to take action on issues of social action, then I would highly recommend “Social Justice Handbook: Small Steps For A Better World” by Mae Elise Cannon. I am not familiar with any other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mission&#8211;Everything the Church is Sent to Be and Do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It may be helpful to clarify some terms. &#8220;Mission,&#8221; simply put, is everything the church is sent to be and do in the world.

		<title>The Role of New Maps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In several posts at onmovements.com, I discussed Edwin Friedman&#8217;s concern about the Failure of Nerve in today&#8217;s leaders. He uses the example of Christopher Columbus and other Renaissance explorers, who broke the imaginative gridlock of his generation by going beyond the &#8220;contemporary maps&#8221; of their age. Columbus went east past the &#8220;dragons&#8221; as other explorers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the car today, I (Eric Heistand) listened to a Catalyst speaker, Jamie Tworkowski. He’s the guy behind TWLOHA (To Write Love on Her Arms). If you haven’t heard of TWLOHA, you’ve missed something that almost every single one of our students knows about. I’ll let you read his story and vision (bottom of page) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
“If history has shown us that the monster of slavery assumes new forms, it has also shown us that its oppressive systems crumble in the face of those who heartily oppose them. It is our collective responsibility to oppose slavery in the time given to us. History is on our side.”
