It has been the author's experience that in local congregations social justice concerns tend to become secondary issues that are not considered essential either to the identity of the church or Christian life. Using the Wesleyan quadrilateral to structure a theological foundation, the author argued that engagement in such concerns is essential to both. The author presented a project that provides one way to link the works of mercy to a congregation's understanding of its Christian identity and practice. The author completed the project by interviewing congregants who were engaged in the project. The author concluded that while the project did provide such a link, the work to integrate social justice and Christian identity must be ongoing.
