The Justice Salon is a ministry of St. Augustine's Chapel dedicated to putting our faith into action around the primary areas of immigrant and refugee rights, racial and economic justice, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and environmental-ecological justice. We engage in this work through a process of education, reflection and action, engaging in collaborative efforts with many partners. Learn more about our current initiatives below!

Lately, the Justice Salon has put on a nonviolent organizing training, supported LGBTQI+ teens through meals at Launchpad, organized at the State Capital, participated in the Music City Iftar, and joined national protests like Hands Off. We are dedicated to being people of faith in the public sphere who believe that love heals.

The Welcome Garden welcomes you!
The Welcome Garden is a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm started in 2023 on the land of Doug and Anne Hardin in Goodlettsville, in collaboration with the Center for Contemplative Justice and the St A’s Justice Salon community. Our desire is twofold; to grow local, organic produce for our community which stewards the land well and extend a place of welcome and part time employment to our newest neighbors in Nashville. Contact Anne Hardin or Tina Tsui with questions. thewelcomegardentn@gmail.com
