Twelve Moments: Contemplating Justice in the Christian Tradition

Twelve Moments: Justice
Christian Tradition with Rev. Francene Young
Pay What You Can, suggested contribution $10


For the month of December, the Rothko Chapel presented a contemplative practice on the topic of "Justice," led by Rev. Francene Young of St. Luke the Evangelist Episcopal Church. Rev. Young led participants in reflections on passages related to the theme of justice from three different interpretations of the Bible, while providing prayers for immigrant families on the border.
