In keeping with the teachings of Gandhi and King, Jr., Soulforce NYC understands that sometimes bold direct action is required as a catalyst for social change. The goal of SFNYC is always dialogue, which can foster mutual understanding and reconcilliation amongst all parties. SFNYC also understands the power of the media in addressing society at large and is thankful that there is growing public interest around the important work being done by SFNYC to move the theological conversation about LGBT humanity forward.
