Peace & the Millennium Development Goals


"I would understand that many of the issues addressed by the Millennium Development Goals have their roots in armed conflicts or in colonial histories (which were most often armed conflicts of long ago). The Goals of feeding, healing, and educating people become possible when war ceases."

The Very Right Reverend Katherine Jefferts Schori

Presiding Bishop, The Episcopal Church

Episcopal Peace Witness: Epiphany/Lent 2007

 


We are called to be Christ to the entire human family.



Empowering Women can empower us all to transform the world.



Educating Children can create people of vision

 



Keeping Children Alive can build foundation of peace.

 

 



Improving mothers’ health can mean a stronger world for all

 

 

 



Preventing disease can make global village more secure

 

 



Hear what the Church is saying to God's People!

 

 

No more shall there be in it
   an infant that lives but a few days,
   or an old person who does not live out a lifetime;
for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth,

and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed.  Isaiah 



Sustaining our environment can help us attain all MDG's

New wells and latrines have reduced infant mortality in the village of Maigiginya, Nigeria.



Joining together as faith communities can make the difference

 

 



Millennium Development Goals are ‘deed-base evangelism’
