Her Name Is…Healing Hearts
On March 28th Praxis Connections, Nyack College School of Social Work, and Treasures NYC held an event focusing on the influencing factors, scale, and scope of the sex in the industry and a special focus on highlighting the effective work of the Treasures NYC ministry which equips women to build relationships with women working in the NYC strip clubs.
Her Name Is…Healing Hearts emphasized that those who are working in the industry are people. Our neighbors… someone’s mother or sister. Building relationships rooted in love equipped with an understanding of how trauma & other dynamics that have produced some brokenness…
Collaborative Justice and Mercy
The Challenge
How do we love our neighbor in our fast paced, disconnected, polarized, and technological world? Our neighbor the widow, orphan, incarcerated, immigrant, hungry, homeless, elderly, ill, and poor. How do we do it with love and mercy that is rooted in justice? How would we know if we are truly loving them and doing it effectively? Most efforts to solve today's problems operate in silos disconnected from one another. They are not working together to show the love, mercy, and justice of God.
The Solution
Praxis Connections creates impact by connecting leaders, strategies, and resources that incorporates a theory & methodology of change we call Collaborative Justice & Mercy. Collaborative Justice & Mercy is rooted in the biblical values of Micah 6:8 and Matthew 25:31-46 and envelopes the following:
1) Shared Vision/Mission
2) Aligned Action
3) Shared Knowledge
4) Empowered Execution
5) Shared Metrics
6) Models & Mobilization of Resources
Collaborative Justice & Mercy flow out of a shared love of Christ, neighbor, neighborhood, and action.
Praxis Forums brings leaders together to foster a better collaborative eco system by building stronger relationships, increased knowledge and effort for Collaborative Justice & Mercy.
