Dr. Frederick D. Haynes: ‘Use Your Faith to Construct Justice, Not Just Do More Charity’

How can we create a better Central Valley where faith and justice can be used to help the people who need it the most?

This is the question that the Rev. Dr. Frederick Douglass Haynes III—a prophetic pastor, passionate leader, social activist, eloquent orator and educator—called us to reflect on last month during our first Faith & Justice Revival.

The answer to that question is clear. “Construct structures of equity and opportunity,” he said.

Dr. Haynes also reminded us that, “whatever privilege you have should be used to heal those who don’t have your privilege!”

Watch the video of his message below.

If you feel called to build new structures of equity and opportunity and to promote healing, email us at [email protected]. Together, let’s do what Dr. Haynes said to do, which is to construct justice and build opportunities for our communities.
