Send page to a Friend Reflection on Text Studies Based on the understanding that ‘study leads to action’, many groups use sacred texts to discuss specific religious imperatives and their relevance to modern life. The following discussion questions can be used as part of such a text study. What principles or texts in particular were you drawn to and why? What are the personal, interpersonal, and societal challenges and mandates presented in these principles and texts? What is God challenging you to do on a personal, interpersonal, and societal level as a result of reflecting on these sacred texts? What are obstacles for putting these principles into daily practice? How can you overcome these personal and societal obstacles? These questions have been adapted from materials produced by Faith Into Action Together, an interfaith group that fights homelessness through education. Faith Into Action Together’s website is at http://www.mahomeless.org/programs/fiat.html.
