Ministering the Message of Christ
Fairtrade
We, as consumers, have an important role to play to improve the situation for producers across the world. Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world.
We have been a Fairtrade Church for some time and are delighted that in September 2011 Mossley was offically acknowleged as a Fairtrade Town.
Social Action
Millions of people's lives are affected by poverty and injustice. Through our awareness compaigns we aim to challenge the causes of poverty, not just the symptons, and show the consequences of our action in the world. The more we know about how all our lives are interconnected the better we are able to seek solutions together.
Display panels and information boards in church keep us up to date with current issues and our stall on Mossley Farmers' Market gets the message across to many more people.
Recent events have included:
ONE WORLD WEEK 2009 'Hungry for One World'
At Mossley Farmers' Market traders children receive a free packet of three biscuits, one from each of Christian, Muslim and Jewish cultures.
