Scenario

When community groups lose sight of their spiritual mission

Our mosque's environmental committee used to feel like we were part of something meaningful, but meetings have become endless debates about recycling bins and LED lightbulbs while the bigger vision of what it means to be khalifas gets lost. None of us seem to remember why we were excited about this work in the first place.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group has forgotten how to hold both practical action and transcendent purpose simultaneously.
