As we prepare to attend the Joining Hands Gathering August 13 – 18 we want to tell you about what we will be doing, Monday August 13.
Impacts of Corporate Globalization and How the Church Addresses Root Causes of Poverty
Joining Hands at a Crossroads
Led by Valery Nodem and Alexa Smith, Joining Hands, Presbyterian Hunger Program, PC (USA)
The Joining Hands Initiative of the Presbyterian Church (USA) Hunger Program is a new way to mobilize people in focused campaigns to tackle systemic causes of hunger both in the United States and abroad as a witness to the wholeness of God’s creation. Rather than replicate project-based mission, the goal of Joining Hands is to organize ourselves in both the northern and southern hemispheres to campaign for change in a globalized world.
Valery and Alexa will lead participants as we consider our achievements and challenges, and where we’re headed.
