2. Purpose of Studying The Beloved Community
Throughout history there have been men and women who have worked to make our world a more peaceful and loving place
Jesus gave us the blueprint of the Beloved Community
In modern times, reviewing your parents and grandparents lives we have some very significant role models who have worked towards this ideal

6. The Vision of The Beloved Community
Brotherhood and sisterhood are possible
“our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation….”
A integrated society in all aspects: socially, educationally, etc. A society where all people see that we are interrelated
A community of love and justice based in the Christian faith
We would bridge the gap between the poor and rich
We must work towards this community
Have personal devotion and faith in God
