So What is our place in service?
Social justice...is both a process and a goal. The goal of social justice...is full and equal participation of all groups in a society that is mutually shaped to meet their needs. Social justice includes a vision of society in which individuals are both self-determining, and interdependent. Social justice involves social actors who have a sense of their own agency as well as a sense of social responsibility toward and with others and the society as a whole.
