Mission and your community: The Light Wheel

The Light Wheel is a tool that helps us to think about what it means to thrive and flourish.

We can view poverty as the result of broken relationships: the broken bond with God, our distorted understanding of self, the unjust ways we connect with others, and our exploitative ties to the environment.  Flourishing is about the restoration of these relationships.  

The different colours in the diagram show how the Light Wheel's nine aspects of wellbeing overlap with the four broken relationships.  The Light Wheel gives tangible examples of the areas of life we must consider if we want to see relationships restored and lives fully transformed.
