Christians in the early church, as in our day, often struggled with how to live out their faith. How do we show our community that our faith is real? The book of James addresses this problem. We are studying the epistle of James, using the book The Scandalous Message of James as a study guide. This resource was written by Elsa Tamez, a theologian from the global South. She brings a new perspective to the study as she challenges us to work for justice and practice the values taught by Jesus and repeated by James.  You are welcome to join us as we discuss how to do this justice work and live out these values.
