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.
In 2019, Mission u is undertaking the studies "Women United for Change: 150 Years in Mission" and "Practicing Resurrection: The Gospel of Mark and Radical Discipleship," while continuing to explore "What About Our Money?" As background for each of these studies, here are some highlights of United Methodist Women’s engagement in economic justice over the years.
In What About Our Money? A Faith Perspective, Susan Taylor reminds us that thinking about “our money” is a spiritual task, and that through our faith we can strive to live in what is described as “God’s economy of grace.”
This section of the 2016/17 Program Book leads us to understand the strength of community (“two are better than one”) and to learn how United Methodist Women works to empower women for economic justice locally and globally.
