What is Fair and Just?

As Scripture teaches, all humans are made in the image of God and are worthy. Yet, globally, not all humans are treated equally. With an increasing consciousness of discrimination, the world and the church continue to ask, ‘What is fair and just?’

• Global Poverty
  There has been a remarkable reduction in global extreme poverty, defined as surviving on less than $1.25 per day.
• Religious Persecution
  State restrictions on religion have grown throughout the world.
• Participation of Women
  Globally, when polled, more women than men say that Christianity is ‘very important’ to them.
• Marginalized
  Of an estimated 8 billion people in the world today, 1.3 billion have a physical or mental disability; one out of six people globally.
• Human Rights
  Human Rights have seen a set back in recent years.
• Slavery
  Despite steady improvements in the protection of human rights, slavery continues to force large numbers of people into work, sexual exploitation, and unwanted marriage.
• Corruption
  Corruption is globally pervasive, and a societal norm in many countries.
