Home > Our Ministry > Peace and Justice
We educate ourselves and others about issues of human and social concern around the globe and work together with people of different views and different traditions to build a more just global society. (See below for recommended justice links)
Corporate Stances for Justice
We have joined many other Congregations of religious women in the United States in taking a corporate stance against the death penalty, against the proliferation of nuclear weapons and "first strike", and against the war in Iraq.
In solidarity with religious women throughout the world we support the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and acknowledge and denounce specific violations of human rights in our day:
- exploitation and violence against women and children
- trafficking of persons
- violations against the free determination of indigenous persons: their culture, land, natural resources
- indifference to the plight of immigrants and situations of domination
- violence against refugees as a result of wars, socio-political upheavals, famine and natural disasters
- unjust incarceration and the use of torture
- violence against human life
