VISION

 

 

The disaster recovery efforts of the Diocese of Louisiana are guided by a vision of "The Beloved Community," as popularized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, where:

 

• Biblical standards of human decency and justice do not allow us to tolerate homelessness, hunger, or the impoverishment and diminishment of our fellow human beings.

• We cherish the image of God in each other and are blessed with an all-inclusive spirit of sister- and brotherhood.

• A critical mass of people has agreed that the attainment of these standards is possible, and God's grace has made our hands strong to achieve them.

 

We invite you to join us in striving for this vision of the Beloved Community, not only in New Orleans and on the Gulf Coast but also throughout our nation.

 

MISSION

The mission of the Office of Disaster Response is to bring our hurricane-displaced neighbors home and to reclaim for all a dignified place in the building of a beloved community.
