First Baptist Church of Moorestown held two Restorative Communities Training programs on Feb. 15 and 22, both of which helped participants discover restorative approaches to building and restoring community bonds.

A restorative community embraces the principles and practices of restorative justice in seeking to create an environment where individuals work collaboratively to resolve conflicts and foster trust, accountability and understanding. Restorative justice is a process for resolving disagreements and conflicts up to and including those that arise in the criminal justice system.

Principles of restorative justice include inviting full participation from all involved parties, healing what has been broken, seeking full and direct accountability, reuniting what has been divided and strengthening the community to prevent future harm.

“As Christians, it’s what we’re called to do," said First Baptist senior pastor Rev. Linda Pepe.

A (very) belated note of thanks to Mark Pensiero, all the folks at Save the Environment of Moorestown (STEM) and to everyone who had a hand in planting native grasses and creating a pollinator field at Swede Run Fields.

We’re fortunate in Moorestown to have excellent town and county parks and open spaces. And we’re fortunate to have dedicated citizens who recognize the value of open space and work to preserve and enhance it. Pollinators — the birds, bees, bats, bugs and butterflies that are so important to a healthy environment — are fortunate, too.
