Jubilee Sunday April 13

"When people of faith join together for a holy purpose, rooted in our scriptures, we can turn the tides of economic injustice, challenge harmful policies and advance a prophetic vision of right relationships among nations, fairness, equality, and hope for the world's poor." - Jubilee USA Network

Jubilee Sunday, April 13, is a day set aside to raise the concerns of countries which have been impoverished by the huge payments they make annually on foreign debts. On this day, congregations will come together across the country to learn and pray, and then call on our national leaders to "Measure up!" to their commitment to end poverty. Resources for celebrating Jubilee Sunday (and many other excellent resources) are available at Jubilee USA Network.
