Turning World Upside Down with Justice, Compassion, Peace

I am so moved by the witness and vision of the Beatitudes Society, which I got hooked up with a few months ago. Watch for a LWM book study on Anne Howard's book this summer. Here's more info on their work:


The Beatitudes Society develops and sustains emerging Christian leaders at seminaries and divinity schools as they build a progressive network for justice, compassion and peace as expressed in the Beatitudes.

How do we turn the world upside down?

One student, one faculty member, one school, one friend at a time, with all of us coming together in a commitment to the spirit of the Beatitudes.

We establish chapters at Christian seminaries and divinity schools across the nation, so students and faculty can gather in community to study, act and pray as they deepen their understanding and practice of prophetic Christian ministry.

We offer chapters financial support for campus activities and speaker events.
We invite everyone to share their thoughts on our Beatitudes Blog.

Annually, we select a progressive conference to which we offer our members scholarships. Click here to view our scholarship policy.

We offer paid fellowships for members at progressive Christian organizations. For more information, visit this page.

We offer an annual Beatitudes service trip for members and friends to do hands-on justice work.

We publish a monthly newsletter, and invite you to subscribe using the "Stay Informed" box at the top of the column to your right.
