out
the
mission

the
congregation
"that

alleviate
the
conditions

Three
Committees

the
Commission:
-
 Peace
and
Justice
Committee
works
for
systemic
change
of
the
economic
and
social
structures
that
oppress
all
creation.
This
is
accomplished
by
education,
action,
networking
with
other
justice
groups,
and
by
keeping
before
the
Congregation
the
vision
of
a
just
world.
This
vision
is
based
on
the
Church’s
social
teachings,
the
Gospel
of
Jesus,
and
our
own
Congregation
documents.

Fund
awards
grants

any
of
God’s
