Social Justice & the Environment
Jesmond Park Uniting Church endorses and supports the position of the Uniting Church in Australia on Social Justice issues and those relating to the mismanagement and destruction of natural resources and human-induced climate change. As an expression of our faith, we become informed, join other voices for justice in the community, and participate in activities and forums that raise awareness and advocate for change.
