As Christians we are called to carry on God's work
of justice and reconciliation in the world. This social
engagement is inherent in our faith: God demands
it. Therefore, we commit ourselves to:
- Giving 0.7% of our personal budgets - and
working towards giving 0.7% of our parish,
diocesan, Church, and national budgets - to help
achieve the Millennium Development Goals
overseas.
- An essential shift in the economic and social
practices of Episcopalians, the Episcopal Church,
and the citizens, corporations, and government of
the U.S.
- Holding our national leaders accountable for
fulfilling their promises to achieve the Millennium
Development Goals.
- Solidarity with the Anglican Communion for a re-
ordering of global economic priorities and practices
away from consumption towards dignity for all.
