B.R.E.A.D.
B.R.E.A.D Organization
The B.R.E.A.D. Organization is comprised of many congregations, who in turn each represent different traditions. Each of our congregations believes in something different - about the nature of God, the name of God, about what God wants us to do. But each of us shares a commitment to pursuing justice in God's name - to finding, in the things that we share, the strength that unity can bring.
B.R.E.A.D. uses a four-step process to bring to surface and win issues of justice:
1) We listen to our members in one-on-one meetings and "house meetings" in order to surface community problems for research and action. The listening process also serves to invite more people to become a part of the justice ministry/Rodef Tzedek (pursuers of justice) networks within congregations.
2) We research the problems to identify workable solutions.
3) We gather a large number of people, in order to show our supportive power and attract the attention of the decision-makers who can implement the solutions we are requesting.
4) We follow-up on the public commitments made by the decision-makers in order to ensure that there is action to address the problem by implementing the requested solutions.
