The life and message of Jesus calls us all to work for a more just and
peaceful world.
“The Christian religion is, of course, rightly concerned with spiritual
values, faith and eternal life, but it does not distance itself from the
business of living in this world. The two are inextricably bound together.
Salvation begins in this world but does not end here. It is dependent not
only on openness to the influence of God’s saving power, on personal
virtue and devotion, but also on the individual’s willingness
to contribute, within his or her capacity, to the common good, through
the
application of ethical principles to the social, economic and political
order.”

Collins Dove, North Blackburn, 1992, p 3-4.
There are dozens of issues of justice in Australia and in the world. Sometimes
it seems overwhelming. By focusing on specific issues - and doing something
about something, rather than trying to do everything - we can make a difference.
As this site develops, we will cover more issues. In the meantime, follow
the links in the navigation panel at left to explore the issues we have
highlighted so far.
