Faith Focus: "Doing Justice, Loving Mercy, Walking Humbly" by Ross Hicks

Retired judge Ross Hicks talks to us about the difference between justice and fairness, the fit between justice and goodness, and the difference between judgment and justice.

Exercise: This week, you may find yourself in a situation where you think you need to exercise justice or fairness. In order to take right action, ask yourself 1) What do I think those involved deserve? Why? 2) If the situation involves goods/services, how could I ensure a fair distribution of those things, taking into account the expectations of all parties? 3) If someone has been wronged, what can I do to repair the injustice so that the wrong-doer and loser are both appropriately treated?
