Our prophetic call is to "See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God." - Micah 6:8. Peace and justice is God's plan for all creation. God offers the gift of peace through Jesus Christ and through Christ, reconciles all to God. We are called to deal justly with one another and all creation.
