The Reparations Commission of the Diocese of New York believes that no reparations can be made in the absence of four defining and guiding values. Those values are Truth, Justice, Integrity and Transformation. This talk is an invitation for participants to take the journey to reflect on the meaning of these values, and recognize the many ways to understand them, as individuals, as the community, as the institutional church, and in our relationship with God.
