4 FAST Mission Faith and Action for Strength Together (FAST) is a justice ministry organization made up of 38 religious congregations throughout Pinellas County who band together to create positive change in our community. FAST is a congregation-based 501(c)3 non-profit whose purpose is to train low- to moderate-income residents from diverse congregations to work together to identify root causes of community problems and take action on these problems. Through FAST, diverse people come together to powerfully address the needs in their own communities.

6 Nehemiah Action Assembly How do we "do justice"? We learn from Nehemiah s calling of a great assembly of people to bring charges against the unfair money-lenders, how we can do justice successfully. (Nehemiah 5:1-13) While in Jerusalem, Nehemiah hears of the economic exploitation of the people by public officials who charged unfair interest rates to make money off of the poor and vulnerable people of the land. Nehemiah is a powerful man in his own right a cupbearer to the King, but doesn't have enough power to confront the unjust economic system that is displacing people from their properties. Nehemiah could have set up some mercy ministries, like clothes closets or food pantries, but decides instead to do justice by getting the money lenders to act fairly. Nehemiah calls a great assembly and the whole community came out to ask the public officials that the land, children, crops, and interest (money), be returned to the people immediately. The nobles and officials agreed, and did what they promised.

46 FAST does NOT PERMIT -
47
48 CCC, Pastors and Politics 2442 It is not the role of the Pastors of the Church to intervene directly in the political structuring and organization of social life. This task is part of the vocation of the lay faithful, acting on their own initiative with their fellow citizens. Social action can assume various concrete forms. It should always have the common good in view and be in conformity with the message of the Gospel and the teaching of the Church. It is the role of the laity "to animate temporal realities with Christian commitment, by which they show that they are witnesses and agents of peace and justice."
49 FAST Antidemocratic and Misleading Father Tapp to me- This is NOT a democratic process (for elections, leaders, issues). He decides because he is the Pastor.
