This Immersion Trip is all about serving the needs of marginalized communities: inner-city, rural, immigrant, homeless, uneducated, etc... Every day, we are meeting people who are changing the world from the bottom up. To go along with our daily activities, I've chosen a few spiritual disciplines to do on this trip that match its goal.
I'm reading the Social Principles of the United Methodist Church. These are the official statements of the church on matters of social policy. They state the church's position on such issues at conservation, energy use, child labor, human sexuality, gambling, and the Internet, just to name a few.
At the same time that I'm reading the Social Principles, I'm also reading the Book of Isaiah. I hope that these two readings will fit will the the things I'll be doing each day.
