Social
Justice
Our ministry of Social Justice is understood, lived
out, practiced, and guided by these empowering
words: “From one man God created all races of
humankind and made them live throughout the whole
earth.
He fixed beforehand the exact times and limits of
the places where they would live (Acts 17:26).” “For
I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was
thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a
stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and
you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me,
I was in prison and you came to visit me (Matthew
25:35-36)”. “First they came for the Socialists, and
I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did
not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to
speak for me (Martin Niemoller).” We are our
brothers and sisters keeper. We must “bear one
another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2)”.
