JubileeQuest – A Kairos: Time for change!
War, hunger, poverty and ecological degradation—when we pick up the newspaper and read the signs of the times, it is a perplexing and sobering experience. In this complex world, interpreting the present time without confusion or despair is an immense challenge. And, as people of faith, not only are we to see and judge, but to dare to act for justice—a task ever more urgent and yet ever more risky and demanding. If we are to discern wisely, speak boldly, and act decisively, we will bring hope to many. Hope comes as “God’s gift to us as we envision, seek, work, embody and pray for justice in a broken world”. In each moment of crisis, there is an opportunity. When we respond to kairos—God’s special moment of grace, truth and decision—with wise and faithful action for justice, we find our place with “friends of God, and prophets”. Each word of truth, each act of solidarity and each step of justice, reinforces hope and nurtures the movement of people that will make ‘another world possible’. JubileeQuest is an invitation to action, an invitation to be a part of a community, a community of people living into hope and Jubilee in our time.
