Charity Begins at Home
Simple Acts of Kindness Everywhere (SAKE)
While we're an online community, we encourage you to participate in our SAKE activities
in YOUR local community.
Every week we organize a different activity
to better our relationships with God, with each other, and with the environment.
These activities can be as simple as cleaning up neighborhood parks, helping elderly neighbors, serving in soup kitchens, and making meals for families with newborns or recent tragedies.
Shalom!
Our definition of Shalom:
a harmonious relationship with God,
a harmonious relationship with each other,
a harmonious relationship with all creation.
"The idea of shalom is itself a reflection of a world perfected–where peace, justice, care for creation, and respect for human dignity are grounded in the love of God and neighbor, a restored creation.
Shalom involves all members of God’s creation living in harmonious and life-giving relationship one with another. Shalom begins with the prayerful and worshipful relationship of the human being with God. God is the ultimate source of shalom as God chooses to live in generous relationship with us.
God desires to bless us with a sense of belonging and to provide for every need, spiritual and physical. Human beings respond to God’s goodness with lives of thankfulness, praise, and worship. Shalom at the same time entails human beings living together in harmony with each other, both sharing what is needed for the physical well-being of all and nurturing one another emotionally and spiritually.
Living in shalom with one another, human beings pay particular attention to the needs of the most fragile and vulnerable. Furthermore…shalom involves human beings living in balance with and respect for the whole of creation. Ecology is teaching us many lessons about the costs of having neglected our solidarity with creation. Shalom leads human beings to foster the flourishing
of God’s creation for God’s sake."
