Advocacy & Justice
As Christians, we are called to "strive for peace and justice and respect the dignity of every human being." (from The Baptismal Covenant in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer)

This section of the Resource Room will offer ideas, resources and links for promoting and teaching what Jesus shared in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, "Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I as naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me." (Matthew 25:34-36)
