In congregations of more than 100 people, the most effective way to organize is to form action groups and then create a way to coordinate the action groups. This coordinating vehicle might be a steering committee of action group leaders or a meeting time when all the action groups meet and share information. The best way to start action groups is to identify issues about which people are deeply concerned. Unitarian Universalists are successfully organizing people around women's issues, environmental issues, and peace issues because people care deeply about them. The social justice program is well balanced.
Service involves hands-on involvement.
Education means raising awareness. Witnessing includes making one's views known through demonstrations or picket lines. Advocacy consists of working in the legislative process. And community organizing entails helping oppressed people organize themselves. People doing social justice ministry are intentional about what they do.
