As Christians, we know God calls us to seek justice and peace. But we also know this is challenging, given the reality of sin in our hearts and the structures and systems around us. Keeping our communities safe and holding law enforcement accountable comes down to upholding the value God has placed in every human life. So where do we begin?
We cannot seek justice without considering the multilayered relationships between police, communities, and public safety. Prison Fellowship’s discussion guide on public safety, Justice That Serves at the Intersection of Policing, Violence, and the Gospel, explores those relationships so you can better understand how to make a difference in your community. It’s filled with thought-provoking questions, firsthand accounts, and practical next steps that you or your small group can take to seek justice.
In our newest resource, you’ll hear from people with different perspectives but the same dream—safer streets based on relationships of trust, where the vulnerable are protected and recognized for their dignity and value.
With this resource, you or your small group will explore:
How the Gospel applies to the relationships between communities and the men and women sworn to protect them.
How people with different life experiences can contribute to our understanding of policing.
How individual believers and churches can promote safety in their community.
