St. Francis is proud to be working together
with
"Interfaith Council of Peace & Justice" (ICPJ).
Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice (ICPJ) began in 1965 when a
group of people from various churches and synagogues in Washtenaw County
came together to form an interfaith coalition to work for peace and justice.
Today, ICPJ is composed of people and congregations of many faiths working
on an array of issues.
MISSION STATEMENT: We are a non-profit
educational/social action organization which brings together people of
various faiths who believe that the world is one family. We believe
that love, commitment to future generations, wise stewardship of the environment
and promotion of social, political, and economic justice, are religious
responsibilities.
The work of ICPJ is done through five
working groups: Disarmament Working Group, Hunger Committee, Middle East
Task Force, Religious Coalition on Latin America, Racial & Economic
Justice Task Force. ICPJ organizes the CROP Hunger Walk every year.
There is no other organization in Washtenaw
County exactly like ICPJ. ICPJ is the only one to bring together
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and others to work, learn, and
pray together on peace and justice issues at home and abroad. Please
support ICPJ in any way you can! Join our efforts! Pray for
our work! Contribute to keep our work going!
