Principles-Based Justice Work
The call to bold discipleship, deep spirituality, and daring justice means that the people of the United Church cannot remain silent in situations of injustice. Addressing injustice includes (though is not limited to) building:
- awareness and understanding of the injustices our neighbours experience
- analysis of the systems and forces that perpetuate injustice
- advocacy with those neighbours who are most vulnerable and marginalized
- action with those neighbours who invite/welcome our participation in their work
These principles are intentionally interdependent and are informed by the United Church’s policies, affirmations, and commitments.
