Start: May 23 2012 - 12:00pm

End: May 23 2012 - 1:15pm

This session provides a forum to discuss social justice organizing in faith community, including developing policies and procedures for dealing with advocacy issues in your own congregation. Many Reconstructionist clergy and lay leaders have led the way in their communities to start and grow "CBCO" networks, transforming their own congregations in the process. We will also discuss drawing others to your community who are already drawn to this work, leveraging the larger community of organizations and professional organizers to amplify your potential for success, the benefits of working in diversity, and thinking about your own internal leadership development so as to effectively pursue this work.
