Our objective is to foster unity among our member churches and to promote change that will lead to just and sustainable peace.

How
We are committed to collaborating with other church movements on issues of common concern such as climate change, gender justice and theological dialogue. We are supported principally by membership contributions of finances and human resources. We also seek funding for specific projects.
