Freedom… compassion… justice… speaking truth to power… trust… commitment
Church Action on Poverty works to put gospel values into practice:
We believe in freedom from oppression, equality, hope for a better and a fairer world
We are all made in the image of God and therefore all people are of intrinsic equal value; we believe in inclusivity, respect and care for others, and responsibility
We affirm people’s inherent power to generate solutions to the problems they face; to have their own voice, ownership and power, and a right to learning
We believe in naming, fighting and challenging injustice, being prophetic, and speaking truth to power
We believe in establishing trust, and valuing people’s unique contribution and voice
We believe in going the extra mile; long-term commitment to communities, seeing it through and seeing change happen
