Building On Faith

Text: "I believe that the most valuable asset that congregations and other faith-based organizations can leverage is faith. The core of this faith is the belief that there is great love at work in the universe that seeks justice, mercy, peace, and joy. Our various faith traditions and practices teach us how to stay open to that love, tap into it, align ourselves with it, and be empowered by it."

Response: I really liked this part of the reading because it used something intangible, such as faith, as the most valuable asset! I feel like when talking about assets a lot of people try to equate that to tangible things like buildings and such. This is a really nice way of talking about something that creates value and actually unites all on a ground level.

Text "The emphasis on relationship and community inspires the leadership to see the needs of the whole person and want to help."

Response: This is a great point! If there is a commitment to a community which is formed through a relationship then there is a deeper need to do better. There is a want to help in the best way possible because there is that foundation of a relationship. This, in my opinion is essential to a successful change in any area of life. If there is no relationship, there is no real commitment that pursues another's best interests.
