On this Inauguration Day, let us take a moment to thank those individuals who devote their lives to public service.  Our democracy depends on elected officials, dedicated government employees, and an informed and active citizenry.  At Texas Impact, we do our best to encourage, inform and engage citizens of faith here in Texas.  And we thank those who serve as elected and career officials in government who work for the greater good every day.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy.
I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy.

-Rabindranath Tagore

Becoming a Justice Seeking Congregation

Rev. William K. McElvaney's new book, Becoming a Justice Seeking Congregation: Responding to God's Justice Initiative offers solid grounding from the Christian tradition for seeking and doing justice.  In addition, its practical strategies offer a realistic, "rubber hits the road" approach to justice discernment and discovery at the local church level.  To order copies at a discount, call iUniverse at 1-800-288-4677, x5022.
