Economic Justice 

Sacred scriptures describe basic human needs for food, clothing, healing, compassion and hospitality. A contemporary list of human needs would also include a decent job that earns a living wage, adequate and accessible health care, affordable housing, quality public education, high quality childcare, and a healthy environment.

In an increasingly interdependent world economic order, unfair systems work to benefit some and hurt others. Globalization has helped to create a situation in which relatively few are hoarding an increasingly large amount of the world’s resources, while over two-thirds of the world falls further into poverty.

We have a responsibility to address these inequities and the political processes that organize our common life, allocate resources and tackle our shared problems. We have a responsibility to speak on behalf of, and stand with, the poor, oppressed and marginalized in order to redress the imbalances and live together in God’s shalom.
