United Church Publications

The 37th General Council in August 2000 received the Division of World Outreach document, To Seek Justice & Resist Evil: Towards a Global Economy for All God's People and recommended it for study and implementation in all spheres of the church's life.

The document invites us to see global economic injustice, to discern or judge what this means for our Christian faith, and to act in common mission for justice. Based on stories from global partners, it challenges us to a deepened understanding of the global economy and appropriate action for justice.

To Seek Justice & Resist Evil and several supporting resources are available from UCRDstore.
