Advocacy
Jubilee Campaign:
"Break the Chains of injustice"
Many
of the world's poorest countries suffer from excessive
debt that disproportionately burdens the poorest of the
poor. Jubilee is an international campaign by Christian
churches to cancel the debt for the new millennium.
Advocates are called to support
petition drives, legislative initiatives and alternative economic
development strategies.
(Meeting time and place to be
announced)
"Restorative
Justice"
The Biblical tradition of
Jubilee calls for justice that restores right relationships with God, the
creation and among people, particularly the poor. Restorative justice is
an alternative to the retributive justice of our criminal justice system
that fails to deter both crime and violence. Principles of restorative
justice also inform our advocacy in reforming systems of welfare and
public housing.
