How would you describe justice, specifically social justice?
I read some pretty cool definitions of it today. Here they are.
“Social justice, as I understand it, is when everybody gets what he or she truly
needs in order to realize his or her fullest potential as a lover of God and as a lover of other people.” (Bart Campolo)
Another way of thinking about it, perhaps more simply, is that justice is about righting wrongs. Taking things that are messed up in this world and making them right- relationships, social systems, physical situations, all of that stuff.
Do you agree with these definitions? Would you add anything?
