In that context, justice inpart means making opportunities available. Check the theology and business meeting records of UR's founding church for references. Perhaps they will provide words to substitute for "revenge for accomplishment."

The University of Redlands is awarding a doctorate in "Educating for Justice." I went to the informational meeting. I asked the director, "What would you rather have, justice or opportunity?" Justice is always meted out by someone else. One must wait upon someone over whom one has no control to obtain justice. Opportunity is taken, and once taken, owned. It is frustrating because I don't have the words to really fight this effort to substitute revenge for accomplishment.
