How do we build a more just world in God’s name?

Our sacred texts inspire our vision for a just world in God’s name. We understand that our liberation is deeply bound up with one another, and a “revolution in values” is required. The prophet Amos declared, “let justice roll down like water, and righteousness like an overflowing stream” (Amos 5:24). To that end, the NH Council of Churches acts with a united voice to achieve these aspirations and commitments.
