Announcing Fellowship Forums!

Notice a new page link in the top menu bar: A fundamental development goal for The Just Life community is the creation of “professional fellowships” within local communities in order to work through how to use specific gifts and callings to live a life of love and justice. In an effort to facilitate those discussions, provide a collaborative space, and generate a knowledge bank, we have created online forums. It may take some time to get these conversations going, so spread the word and join in!
