Keep the Advocacy Alive for a Faithful Federal Budget!
Beginning Friday, March 23 through Monday, March 26, nearly 1,000 Christians took part in the 2012 Ecumenical Advocacy Days for Global Peace with Justice in Washington, D.C. This year's 10th Anniversary gathering was titled, "Is THIS the Fast I Seek? Economy, Livelihood and Our National Priorities." Ecumenical Advocacy Days is a movement of the ecumenical Christian community, and its recognized partners and allies, to strengthen Christian voices and to mobilize for advocacy on a wide variety of U.S. domestic and international policy issues.
The highlight of the three-day gathering was the release of a faithful federal budget. "The Faithful Budget" promotes comprehensive and compassionate budget principles that will "protect the common good, values each individual and his or her livelihood, and helps lift the burden on the poor, rather than increasing it while shielding the wealthiest from any additional sacrifice."
Global Concerns
Maryknoll Affiliates came from as far as Seattle Washington and Portland Oregon, as well as points "Midwest", and of course, from the East Coast, to join with Maryknoll Sisters, Lay Missioners, Priests and Brothers to celebrate the centennial of the Maryknoll Sisters and Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers in Washington DC.
