LOVE THY NEIGHBOR

In an age when compassion is under threat, what kind of people do we want to be in this world? The imperative to love God and neighbor has not changed. Nor has doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly. Either we believe all people are made in the image of God, or we don’t. We are pursuing three practical strategies — coming alongside ministries where it’s toughest, cultivating resilience with the bravest, and rallying people to love their neighbors.

For our Love The Neighbor initiative, we have been convening virtual and in person gatherings—conversations, retreats, seminars, and immersion trips—with a vision toward formation, holding in tension the virtues of justice, love and humility. Several amazing people are inspiring and stewarding this vision. Andy and Sunita Groth who serve on Together’s board, are passionate about formation, prayer and helping people live according to their deepest values. Rob Morris, who joined Together as Chaplain, spent decades helping people care about the things that matter. His work reflects a deep conviction that loving our neighbors begins with listening, humility, and humanity. Rob walks alongside people, communities, leaders and organizations to help navigate the complexities and storms of real life. Rob’s vision for chaplaincy captures the heart of “Love Thy Neighbor” so well.
