The 2024-2025 PW/Horizons Bible Study

LET JUSTICE ROLL DOWN:

GOD’S CALL TO CARE FOR NEIGHBORS AND ALL CREATION

By Patricia K. Tullby 

at STONY POINT CENTER
June 20-22, 2024

Patricia Tull, author, describes her call for creation justice in this way: “When I first learned of the climate crisis, I wondered how a biblical scholar with few practical skills could help and found my purpose in learning about ecology and teaching people of faith what I could. Such is not everyone’s skillset or desire, but each of us has something to do with all our hearts.”

We are called to care for neighbors and God’s creation with all our hearts, with particular care for society’s least powerful members who are disproportionately impacted by unjust systems. In God’s first instructions to the nation of Israel we hear “You shall not pervert the justice due to the poor” (Exodus 23:6); in Moses’ final speech at the promised land’s border, he reiterated, “Justice, and only justice, you shall pursue” (Deuteronomy 16:20); and from Amos, the earliest recorded prophet, “Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an everflowing stream” (Amos 5:24). Scripture reminds us that we are called to speak out to urge our society to act for just transitions in this fast-changing world.

Our leader will be the Rev. Anita R. Wright, Pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church in Montclair, NJ. Ordained by the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 2017, Rev Wright also serves as Chaplain at Bloomfield College. Her background is multi-faceted, and it will be a joy to get to know her.

The full program begins at 4pm on THURSDAY and ends after lunch on SATURDAY. Registration and check-in will start on Thursday at 3:00 PM. The program fee of $60 is included in the cost and covers the leader, her room and board, and a copy of the study.
