Do you know what it’s like to live on minimum wage? Have you ever imagined being forced to choose between health care and food, or food and clothes? Listen to this United Methodist Women Faith Talk on Women, Labor and Living Wage with Carol Barton, the United Methodist Women lead staff on the Living Wage for All campaign. We explore what the Bible has to say about God’s Economy of Grace, current realities, and what we can do.
