Educational Social Justice Program in Chatham

Ogden Memorial Presbyterian Church, Chatham, NJ, will be hosting the second of a three-part program on issues calling for social justice, which will focus on an area of concern in our country and will seek to help us understand how we can address the concern nationally as well as locally.   The intent of this program may be summarized in the words of William Sloane Coffin:  “Charity seeks to alleviate the effects of injustice; justice seeks to eliminate the causes of it”. 

This program is free; however donations to the program will be gladly accepted. We encourage everyone to come learn more about these important social justice issues, and how you can become a part of the change.
