Working for social justice

John Wesley said:
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can

This helps to explain why action for justice for the most deprived and poorest— in Britain and throughout the world—has high priority for the Methodist Church, and at its church in Billericay in particular.

Christians are ideally placed to influence local and national public opinion in their campaigns for social justice. But we recognise that social justice for others can best be advanced by millions of people in their roles as voters and consumers. 

Fair trade for producers

Fairtrade is about sustainable prices, working conditions and trade for farmers and other workers in developing countries.

And Make Poverty History (launched in 2005) aims to eliminate extreme poverty in developing countries by promoting fair trade and cancelling some of the poorer countries' debts. 

This church strongly supports the objectives of Make Poverty History and Fairtrade and it has achieved Fairtrade church status. We commend its ideals to our people.
