CANA Initiative #5- Common Good 2014-04-04T08:21:43-08:00 Philip Clayton
Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
CANA(Convening, Advocating, Networking, and Acting) has a group of five major initiatives to spearhead in the next year. These first five areas can be viewed as a bit of the origin story of CANA over the last nine months, but were clearly defined by participants at the CANA kick off meeting in November 2013 at the Washington Cathedral. The fifth initiative is:
Common Good Initiative
Goals:
- Engage in serious dialog and action toward finding new ways for churches and christians to engage in racial and cultural differences
- Create Church/Community partnerships for action
- Coordinate training and resources amongst activist and training organizations
For more on the initiatives and all things CANA go to: www.canainitiative.org
