What does economic justice look like in ezer communities? How is it described in the bible? Erika Dayle Siu describes it with one word, koinonia. Koinonia is identifying neighbors as those in need of your help. It is contributing, participating, and sacrificing oneself for another in tangible ways such as sharing resources, time, and energy. It is about expanding our social circles to people of different religions or traditions, caring for animals and nature. In what ways is our world designed according to the principle of koinonia? In what ways is it designed to exclude and foster inequality? How can we be different and live within this world in the spirit of koinonia?
