He emphasized that success will require our society to act on all levels, with leadership by government, business and labor, faith groups, advocacy organizations, and individuals. For Christians, striving for justice and peace among all people, and respecting the dignity of every human being are central to our faith. The challenges of economic inequality in the United States call each of us to witness to the promises of baptism in very real ways. "America’s Goals are an opportunity for that real engagement," said the Rev. Lawlor.
Following an overview of America's Goals, the Rev. Jay Lawlor offers insight into the Christian tradition of economic justice. He further states how America's Goals are consistent with this Christian witness for justice.
