Forces join to voice caution about Free Trade Agreement with Colombia
The Presbyterian Peace Fellowship, Fellowship of Reconciliation, the PCUSA Washington Office and other peace groups are joining forces to press the President to refrain from renewing the Free Trade Agreement with Colombia.
The 2010 General Assembly approved a social action teaching calling the PCUSA to lobby the President and Congress to put forward a Peace Accord to end the nearly 50 years of conflict and exploitation in Colombia.
The month of June will be a month of letter writing and public advocacy asking our government not to renew the Free Trade Agreements.
There will also be a public fast from June 5 – 12. You are also welcome to participate in “Break-Fast Dinners,” to be held at the church on Tuesday June 7 and Wednesday June 8, from 6-7:15 p.m. Please bring a dish to share.
If you can’t fast , pray, write, and advocate!
There will be information about Public Fasting on the Welcome Table or see church Elder Teddy Hogle.
