To Seek Justice & Resist Evil invites us to SEE global economic injustice, to discern or JUDGE what this means for our Christian faith, and to ACT in common mission for justice.

It does not intend to suggest blanket opposition to all aspects of the global economic system or to oppose all international trade or profit-seeking activity.
