SOCIAL JUSTICE MINISTRY

As followers of Christ, we promised in our Baptismal Covenant to strive for justice and peace among all people and respect the dignity of every human being. We are mandated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ to care for the poor and the disadvantaged.  The Gospel of Matthew describes how we might best serve our Lord Jesus Christ in the 25th chapter:

“…for I was hungry, and you gave me food, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked, and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” [Matthew 25: 35-40]

The Social Justice Ministry of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew will seek to address the inequities in our society by praying, mobilizing resources, and taking direct action through advocacy, and encouraging all churches in a Becoming Beloved Community. We will coordinate our efforts with the Racial Reconciliation and Prison Ministries, and our emphasis will be in the following areas:

  1. Human Rights – Addressing Gender Inequality, Human Trafficking, Immigration, and advocating for a reform of the School to Prison pipelines.
  2. Housing – Addressing Housing as a human right by advocating for affordable housing for poorer communities.
  3. Hunger & Food Insecurity – Addressing food shortages and food deserts in poorer communities.
