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.
People can become involved in B.R.E.A.D.’s work on many levels. Contact a leader of the justice ministry/Rodef Tzedek Network in your congregation to get involved. You may also call the B.R.E.A.D. office at (614) 220-9363 or email us at bread.organization@sbcglobal.net to get your congregation involved.
The base level of the justice work in B.R.E.A.D. is to:
- bring three people with you to the Nehemiah Action
- attend three other community wide meetings to build momentum for the Nehemiah Action
- the Rally
- the Celebration
- the Annual Assembly
