FORUM REPORT

Yesterday, we were pleased to hear Rev. Rollin Russell at Forum who spoke on "Economic Justice: What is it?". He shared the experiences of United Church of Chapel Hill on adopting an Economic Justice Covenant and challenged CUCC to begin the process of discernment towards the same goal. http://www.unitedchurch.org/Justice/

He recommended several resources:

Broccoli and Desire: Global Connections and Maya Struggles in Postwar Guatamala by Edward F. Fischer/Peter Benson

In Search of a Good Life: The Ethics of Globalization by Rebecca Todd Peters of Elon University.

Both can be purchased locally at Quail Ridge Books or online at www.QuailRidgeBooks.booksense.com

He also referred to several publications and initiatives of the NC Justice Center including Making Ends Meet on Low Wages.
