Micah 6:6-8 (NRSV)
"He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"

Mission: People of faith building power to “do justice”
Most congregations are very good at pursuing the humble walk with God and they are often strong at demonstrating kindness (or mercy). But when it comes to doing justice, most of those same congregations fall significantly short. One of the primary reasons for this shortcoming is that a single member, pastor or congregation does not have enough power to hold key decision makers accountable for protecting the weak from the strong. BREAD provides a vehicle for congregations to practice justice by joining together large numbers of people. These large numbers of people give us a chance to "do justice." Since congregations gather weekly to remind themselves of their humble walk with God, we challenge them to gather that same number of people once a year for a BREAD Justice action.
