SOCIAL JUSTICE

Our Vision of Social Justice

Having experienced God's love, grace and healing power in our lives, we continue on our spiritual journey individually and collectively as a community of faith -- by bringing that experience to others. The essence of Social Justice is expressed in a hymn that is familiar to all of us at MCCSF, "Our Daily Bread" --

"To go from here and share this love you've given me, To show the ones who are lost and help them find the way, The way to truth and love, so they can be free . . ."

Outreach and service to people in need who live among us -- people who are homeless, in crisis, living with HIV/AIDS, struggling with chemical dependency or other addictions.
Building community in our neighborhood and across neighborhoods; strengthening the bonds among churches, schools and other community organizations.
Speaking out on social and political issues shaping the city and the nation (especially those issues affective the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities).
Bringing an end to racism and homophobia by building bridges of understanding and respect, creating a society that embraces diversity.
Participation in the global community and understanding our connection to it, promoting peace, economic justice and human rights.
Environmental awareness and advocacy, protecting and bringing healing to the earth.
