The founders of this church believed that ours is a living faith, a faith that is expressed not only in ministry, but also in mission in and with the world.
FOOD JUSTICE
Food is central to life: the United Church believes that our society must ensure a food supply for everyone that is safe, reliable, and affordable. At the same time, agriculture and fisheries should provide a dignified livelihood for producers and ensure ecological balance.
In light of the global food crisis, we call for actions addressing the root causes of hunger and food insecurity. These include fair food distribution, sustainable farming practices, and greater public investment in small farms.
