Our Mission

 
                                 
The mission of The Quest is to promote social justice concepts and issues.  Social justice entails the belief that all individuals should have equal access to society's resources and opportunities and be at all times accorded human dignity.  We strive to help people "see, hear, touch, smell and taste" the injustices that burden and dehumanize their neighbors and to offer a vision of a more just social order.  We recognize and support the dignity of life in all its forms and promote solidarity with those suffering injustice. 
 

What We Do

  • Produce a quarterly Newsletter (Questings)
    • For a copy of the newsletter

  • Sponsor lectures by nationally and internationally known social justice activists
  • Gather people of differing races for a shared meal and facilitated conversation on key issues.  Program is called "Bridges"
  • Work in collaboration with other social justice groups
  • Offer a library of social justice videos, tapes, and books to the public
  • Take action on selected issues
  • Offer coordination service to groups espousing social justice causes in the Mobile area
  • Conduct a prayer vigil downtown Mobile on the day of an execution in Alabama
  • Work with Alabama Arise on Tax Reform
  • Offer study groups on issues of social justice
  • Host a reception for state legislators before or during the legislative session

Our Hope Is

  • To be an inter-faith voice of justice in the Mobile, Alabama, area.
  • To keep local, state, and national issues before the public eye.
  • To invite the churches and the general public to take a bolder stand at the side of those who are poor and without voice.
  • To help focus ourselves and others on the common good and not just on our own self-interest.
  • To emphasize the dignity of all people and of earth itself as gifts from  God.
