Staying on Course: Navigating the Shifting Tides of Government and Church Partnerships A Resource from the NCC Justice for Women Working Group on Understanding the New Overtures to Churches by the Federal Government This resource has been prepared by the Justice for Women Working Group of the National Council of Churches as a contribution to the important dialogue that is taking place in our church life on the role of government and churches in responding to the increasing human needs in our communities. The public debate on these issues offers the churches a teaching moment to reflect and discern on our commitments to social justice and human rights. Since the vast majority of poor in the USA are women and their children, the Justice for Women Working Group offers this piece as a way to help us all in our education and advocacy toward the goal of ending poverty. Some think this is too idealistic. But we see it as a hopeful vision. We join with the larger ecumenical community and its partners to move into a better future for all.
