Purpose
The purpose of the MCC BC Restorative Justice initiative is to provide
resources in the BC faith community about the principles and biblical
basis of restorative justice and to increase awareness regarding how
restorative justice is being demonstrated in the community.
What is restorative justice?
“Restorative Justice” is a buzz-word in political, cultural
and religious circles, yet there is generally a lack of understanding
as to what it is or its impact. In the last few decades MCC and other
organizations have embraced the philosophy of restorative justice which
seeks to restore relations where appropriate and break the cycle of
harm.
Restorative Justice is a philosophy that views wrongdoing as an act
against individuals, families, and communities, as well as against society.
This approach values the voluntary involvement of the harmed person,
the wrongdoer, and families in a healing process that involves dialogue,
accountability, and potentially reconciliation.
