‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To let the oppressed go free,
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.’ (Luke 4: 18 - 19)

The principle of social justice is core to being a modern Australian Christian. “But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:17-18)”

Social Justice is the basic concept of human rights and equality. Essentially, this concept tries to achieve a complete and equal participation of all groups in a society. This is used in places such as courts where people are analysed and then judged by the court to determine if a person is guilty or not guilty.

To proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.’ (Luke 4: 18 - 19)
