Why Justice? Why Advocacy?

Through God's gift of holy baptism we are called to follow the example of Jesus and serve all people, striving for justice and peace in all the earth. In this holy covenant we are called not only to care for the immediate needs of those who are suffering; we are also called to attend to the root causes of that suffering. To this end we use our voices in places where important political and economic decisions are being made, to advocate on behalf of those who are marginalized, impoverished, or oppressed.

"On the one hand, we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life's roadside... One day we mustl come to see that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and women will not be beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that and edifice which produces a beggar needs resturcturing. Martin Luther King Jr.
