Americans Committed to Justice and Truth

We at ACJT are keenly aware of the trend in this country that finds people saying:  “I’m not a religious person; but I am a spiritual person.”  Our hope is for a future time when we can all say:  “I’m both religious and spiritual.”  On the way, let’s be clear about one thing.  Whether we choose to call ourselves spiritual or religious, we owe our basic understanding of justice to those at the genesis of our faith traditions; people like Moses, Jesus, Mohammed. 


Inclusivity.  This is the issue.  There is no valid religious practice that is exclusive. 

[The test of legitimacy for any religious person or organization is whether they exclude or include.]

A Christian is a person who is Christ-like….someone who models herself/himself after the carpenter’s son from Nazareth…. someone who acts like Jesus acted.  Jesus loved indiscriminately, recklessly.  He was scrupulously inclusive.
