We facilitate processes with church social action groups to bring about positive lasting change in communities
Our approach
As process facilitators, we help with the following:
- we meet with churches and groups to determine how best to take action to bring positive social change in their communities
- We start from where people are at and accompany them in their development process as social justice activists
- We enable groups to identify, understand and address the systemic or root causes of injustice in their communities
- We work with organised groups of people who formulate their own shared goal which expresses the change they want for themselves or their community
- We stand in solidarity with organisations and individuals working for social justice
- We create unique opportunities for the ecumenical church to demonstrate united witness
Benefits for churches
- Churches work with their identified needs
- Churches link their faith and life and put their faith into action
- Churches and groups also benefit from our many local, regional and international links
- Churches get an ecumenical platform to engage in social justice issues
