CHURCH AND SOCIETY
Munsey’s Church & Society Team seeks to advocate the gospel of Jesus Christ in the church and in society, fulfilled as we pray and work to be God’s channels to bring God’s “kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.”
A special new annual event is our Blessing of the Animals held each spring to thank God for the creatures that bless our lives and need our care.
The team’s focus is to reduce hunger and poverty, with special emphasis on children, by focusing on:
-
Bread for the World – working for the eradication of hunger
-
Fair Trade – enabling farmers to support their families
-
Immigration issues – recognizing that children of immigrants are more likely to be poor
-
Epidemiology Transitions – exploring global changes affecting hunger
-
Care for Creation/Climate Change – being sensitive to changes that can undo the global progress against hunger and poverty
-
Human Trafficking issues – raising awareness that victims of which are poor economically and in numerous other ways
-
Mass Incarceration issues – recognizing that incarceration often impoverishes families both during and after
-
Reduction of Nuclear Weapons – raising awareness that billions of dollars spent in this area could be spent on human welfare
