Generosity Revolution

Generosity Revolution The Generosity Revolution campaign is a month-long journey for a church community.

The aim is to bring about a mindset change in the members of your congregation with respect to giving and receiving, in a context of inequality, in a way that builds dignity for all people. Based on an in-depth study into God’s generosity laws as outlined in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, and narrated in the book of Ruth, the Christian believer is offered the opportunity to discover a theology of gene

rosity that gives birth to exciting and achievable ways of giving and receiving with dignity. A three-pronged approach, addressing the heads, hearts and hands of a community, allows for the word of God to challenge our mindsets, lead to reflection in our spirits, and ultimately produce a change in lifestyle that should impact the community in which the church is situated. The Generosity Revolution Campaign comprises of a toolkit with a number of different components, which can be tailored to suit the needs and [personality] of your church. We would like to encourage you to prayerfully reflect on what aspects of this campaign you should take on, and what time of year would allow for the most participation within your context. The toolkit provides an overview of how to run the campaign, the theological grounding of the campaign, interactive ways to engage the church, tips for running small group studies, and helpful guidelines for running a community service project. In addition to the toolkit, the pack includes the following resources: Liturgical material which outlines a basic liturgy as well as themed outlines for each week; the 5 week Bible study booklet; Resources for child and youth ministries; and Weekly drip feeds – which can be used for daily reflection. We have also included an Urban Gleaning pamphlet and bookmark, which can be used to supplement the Campaign.

A study by University of Cape Town economist Arden Finn to determine the wage level at which a worker and his or her family could be brought up to the poverty line found R4,125 was the carefully qualified answer.

How will we know we have given enough?

I am advocating that individual Christians and church communities stop thinking of serving others as a line in a budget of many competing priorities, and begin to think about emulating God’s grace as central to the mission of the Body, and around which all other decisions are made.

"The Franciscan School found a way to be both very traditional and very revolutionary at the same time by emphasizing practice over theory. At the heart of their orthopraxy was the practice of paying attention to different things (nature, the poor, humility, itinerancy, the outsider, mendicancy, and mission instead of shoring up home base and 'churchiness')." - Fr. Richard Rohr

What a wonderful opportunity we had this week, invited by Archbishop Thabo Makgoba to speak at the bishops forum with the Cape Town Diocese. We handed out 40 Generosity Revolution campaign packs to the clergy in attendance and are praying that they will be blessed by the material and find a way to use it in their congregations.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie:
“Now girls are often raised to see love only as giving. Women are praised for their love when that love is an act of giving. But to love is to give AND to take.
Please love by giving and by taking. Give and be given. If you are only giving and not taking, you’ll know. You’ll know from that small and true voice inside you that we females are so often socialized to silence.”
Hi there Generosity revolutionaries... I think that this quote is not limited to women and girls but is true for all human beings. Any thoughts?
