Peace and Justice Division

Mission

The mission of the Division is to support members of our diocese as they strive "for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being"

 


The Millenium Development Goals (MDG)

The MDGs are 8 goals that were adopted by the UN in 2000 to eradicate extreme poverty. The 2006 General Convention passed a resolution making the MDGs a priority for the next triennium (2006-2009).
