Corporate Social Responsibility
The Corporate Social Responsibility program operates on the belief that God’s business involves all of life and that God calls the Church both corporately and individually to use all that is committed to our care to practice good stewardship of the creation, pursue justice, care for people in need, and to seek things that make for peace.
