"Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice."

We would love for you to join us via Zoom as we delve into Stevenson's book in four Tuesday evening sessions, held from 7:00 to 8:00 pm, central time:

October 26,

Sessions will feature a combination of presentations and small group explorations. There is no charge for the series, but registration is required.

All are welcome to this book study sponsored by the Greater Kansas City Justice and Peace Action Team of Central and Midlands mission centers, Community of Christ.

Early registration is recommended. Registration is required and works for all four sessions.
