The Wealth of a WholeHealth Movement

The Wealth of a WholeHealth Movement is among us.

The Wealth of WholeHealth, Bigger Story perspective integrates our life to include Five Disciplines for the Clergy to take on Healing themselves, the People, and Healing America. This healing is only sustainable when it gets as systemic as “Of the People, By the People, For the People.” We must restore the Memory, the Hope, the Passion for the People to Pick up the Mantle and Take it on and then we will have the Wealth of WholeHealth in the World with the power for radical change.

#1). Social Justice   Justice (with cognates in Middle English, Old French, Latin and Italian) has to do with righteousness and equity, fairness, equality under the law. Social Justice claims these virtues, this ethic, for the society at large. "Righteous exalts a nation . . . ." (Proverbs 14:34)

 The moral arc of the universe is long but bends toward justice.” Martin Luther King, Jr., March 14, 1968. 

William Penn, a Quaker, and notable founder of this country believed in equality. His religion taught him that every man, woman and child had the same light in them as anyone else, meaning they had the same rights, meaning they did not need to bow to any other human being. That is healthy! However, this is not the attitude of the country today given the facts of the ‘great divide’ William Penn, a Quaker & Shaker, took on back in 1718. Remember William Penn repudiated the Monarch, power in the hands of the few to include the Aristocracy who took whatever they wanted leaving the crumbs for the Serfs to survive but only to serve this hierarchy. ”.
Point: So given the state of the state today, how are we doing? We’ve come a long way haven’t we. . .but a long ways from social justice. Therefore, we are not doing well.
