The VISION FORUM, a ministry of the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, was founded in 2008 to increase awareness of the reality of the human condition and the promise of hope and healing offered through education and the arts leading toward a sustainable, just, and peaceful world. We aspire to become a leading force in the community for social justice by offering classes, seminars, workshops, and fine arts productions focusing on human rights and social justice issues (such as affordable housing, healthcare, immigration, education, the environment, drug abuse, AIDS, hunger, disease, war, discrimination, and civil rights). Our hope is that by working to change hearts and minds through education, information, and empowerment, people will authentically work for change, justice and peace for all humanity.
