Global Solidarity
We all share this wonderful world and are responsible to it and each other. Each day we learn more about how fragile our planet is and how connected we all are.
Has the call to bring about the Kingdom of God ever been more clear or more necessary?
Understanding that we share this call in communion with all people is a primary driver of our Guatemala Partnership. Our neighbors are across the street and across the globe.
This page is dedicated to helping us learn more about our global solidarity.
