Our Ministries

We are engaged in ministries that focus on:

building communities of justice and love – by assisting in the formation and facilitation of right relationships between and among individuals and groups;

eradicating material poverty – by addressing the systemic causes and effects of poverty;

ending gender discrimination against women – by working to transform or to bring to an end those systems and structures which oppress women and to collaborate with others in the creation of just and inclusive systems and structures.
