Quadrennial Priorities
2021-2024
Justice and Righteousness
"The Lord God has told us what is right and
what he demands: 'See that justice is done, let mercy be your first
concern, and humbly obey your God.' ” Micah 6:8 CEV
Acting justly is
rooted in what is right as it relates to our relationship with God and
lived out in our relationship with each other and in our stewardship
over creation. God has shown us what is good and what is required to do
justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly (under God’s leadership). 4In
these days and times, the world has seen an increasingly public display
and demonstration of the many ways humans have found to harm one
another. Played out on a global scale from the highest of government
positions to the everyday-ness of what it means to be a neighbor, the
injustices of racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, unbridled capitalism,
and inequitable power have entrenched hatred and evil from our
foundational institutions to our interpersonal interactions. Church
Women United (CWU) has a special role to enact a distinct form of hope
into what could otherwise be seen as intractable despair.
CWU, as an organization and as a community of church
women, is poised to use its collective, regional, and local influence
and numbers to mobilize human, economic, legislative, and educational
capital for the focused purpose of cultivating mutual good for all human
beings – in other words – to bring about true justice as a foundation
for producing and protecting true peace.
The Action and Global
Concerns committee has found itself with a unique opportunity to create
anew an action plan to tackle some of what we’re calling, “momentum
points.” Momentum points are areas of content and strategy that lead to
building the momentum needed to dislodge the power of the status quo and
construct new ways of being for mutual human flourishing. Taking
seriously that no one organization can tackle all that needs to be
“fixed” in the world, we have constructed a template by which we can
methodically and intentionally address “momentum points” to garner the
greatest shifts toward justice; which can then be contextualized by
individual units who will work individually and in partnerships in their
areas. The following provides a template to be used as a guide toward
such work. May the blessings of God be with us and correct us as we do
the work of God in the world and become more and more who we’ve been
divinely created to be. Amen.
