Today, March 9, I will be moderating a panel at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis to discuss—informatively, civilly, and biblically—the role of social justice among evangelicals. On the panel will be:If you are in the St. Louis area I would be sure to check it out.
Dr. Bryan Chapell—president of Covenant Seminary and author of Christ Centered Preaching.
Darrin Patrick—lead pastor of The Journey and vice president of the Acts 29 Church Planting Network.
Doug Birdsall—executive vice president of the Lausanne Committee on World Evangelization.
Jim Belcher—pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church (Newport Beach, CA) and author of Deep Church.
Dr. Wes Stafford—president of Compassion International.
This is one of 12 conversations being hosted in 12 cities in the coming months on this subject. I am hopeful that these conversations will not only inform the church about the proper role of justice in our mission, but also model for thousands of believers how to talk about the issue in a constructive and loving way. You can expect to hear more about this subject in the coming month both on Ur and in the pages of Leadership.
Until then, go to www.12cities12conversations.com to learn more.

Any news of a live feed for us who can't make it to St. Louis?
I'll check.
"social justice" is merely code for "how can we get people to vote democrat and still be comfortable with their Christianity".
Christians need to worry more about developing a biblical worldview and less about wealth redistribution.
