United Church Publications

Have you ever wondered...

• What global economic justice and partnership have to do with faith?
• How the global economy works and how you fit into it?

WebSight is a fun and interactive way to explore these questions:

• A multimedia, educational resource for youth, adult and intergenerational groups.
• No prior knowledge of global economic justice issues required, only the desire to get involved!
• Designed by United Church youth to complement the "To Seek Justice and Resist Evil" Report approved by General Council in 2000. This report represents the UCC's renewed commitment to study and action on issues of global economic justice and partnership.

WebSight: A Facilitator's Guide

I must say that it is the best material I have used in a long time. The girls have enjoyed it and look forward to each session.

Phyllis Hindle, CGIT & Ontario Leadership Team leader

Lots of activities, games and theological reflections for conducting workshops or an overnight retreat can be found in this comprehensive resource. The analogy of the World Wide Web is used to help participants explore the complicated "web" of relationships that connects people to the global economy. Designed for youth, but a versatile resource for any age group!

WebSight: A Facilitator's Guide can be ordered for $15.99 from UCRDstore.
