In November 2015, ISCS announced its first initiative on social justice, Dorothy Day for Today, A Contemporary Model of Compassion in Action: Spirituality, Social Justice and Ethics. The new forum was the first social justice conference in Texas that fostered an ongoing dialogue in spirituality and social justice. The three-day event featured Rev. Ron Rolheiser and Robert Ellsberg, internationally renowned experts and advocates of change. Dorothy Day for Today featured additional keynote addresses by Dr. Patti Radle and Sharon Halsey-Hoover as well as social justice breakout sessions that covered topics on peace and compassion, homelessness, immigration, incarceration, end of life issues and LGBT.
