Good
Friday Walk for Justice 2008 Prayer Guide
Available here!
 The
Catholic community commemorates the passion and crucifixion of Jesus
Christ with the Stations of the
Cross. This is the 27th year, 8th Day Center has invited the Chicago
community to join together in acknowledging the crucifixion in its many
contemporary manifestations with a walk for justice. The social issues
of our time are incorporated with the Stations of the Cross.
The
Good
Friday
Walk for Justice is a public witness of solidarity with those today who
continue to be condemned and burdened; who
grieve and weep; who are tortured, stripped of dignity and executed.
Our 2007 theme of
RISE UP! It speaks to
the belief that transformation comes in the
doing, the resisting, the saying “No” to the dominating institutions
that cause such pain and death. is to say “Yes” – yes, To RISE UP! is to
be counted on to jion with aand support the many communities of
resistance working toward the day wehn true justice with peace prevails.

Urban Plunge
 8th Day Center
organizes
an annual
urban plunge. The Urban Plunge tries to show some systemic problems
that
plague urban communities as well as presenting creative solutions and
progressive
social movements. Although it is designed primarily for people in
formation
in religious congregations it is open to other interested participants.
Throughout the week the
participants
embarked on an immersion experience visiting organizations that dealt
with
issues such as affordable and public housing, the prison system,
health care, police brutality, predatory lending, racial profiling, and
homelessness. They also spent time with communities and churches that
respond
to these issues. Below are some photos from past Urban Plunges.
The 2008 invitation, registration form and a sample of

years schedule. Send registrations by 1/15/08 please or call office
