As we seek to emulate the life of Jesus, we are called not only to meet the emergent needs of those in crisis but also to address systemic oppression and marginalization in our world. We build the "kin-dom" of God by working to create a better world for all of God's children. We do this, not alone, but in partnership with other faith and civic communities to strengthen the scope and impact of our calling.
