Looking for a summer faith experience that is "eye opening, fun, inspiring, challenging, life-changing, empowering, thought-provoking and intense”? Then Justice Camp 2014 might be for you! This is the seventh camp and it takes place from August 15 to the 21st at the Kings University College in Edmonton, Alberta. Many will recall that Niagara hosted a Justice Camp - focused on community - in 2010.
The theme for this year is LAND. The grassroots camp will explore our scriptures and the connections between land, spirituality and the development of community. In the words of the organizers: “At Justice Camp 2014 – LAND, we will listen to these sacred teachings anew or again and reflect on what they have to say to us about how to live our lives together in balance with the land and with one another.”
Justice Camps bring together people from across Canada, from various backgrounds and denominations to live and learn for six days. Those attending will uncover the injustices in society and learn how to better respond to these issues in their parishes when they return home. This camp aims to have 100 participants. They will be placed within small immersion groups, each focusing on a particular justice issue. They also visit local groups and advocates striving for social justice. Some topics this year include aboriginal reconciliation, faith in the oils sands development and ecological conservation.
Justice Camp 2014 – LAND is open to everyone over the age of 18. Registration is open and can be done online at the website below.
