News and Feature Stories on Eradicating Poverty and Addressing its Root Causes
The Presbyterian Mission Agency is committed to eradicating poverty and addressing its root causes. That commitment is reflected in coverage by the Presbyterian News Service and various PMA publications, such as Mission Crossroads, in 2021 that resulted in more than 50 articles.
Eradicating poverty is one of the three foci of the Matthew 25 invitation and aligns with a 2016 statement of the 222nd General Assembly that called for the Church “to locate ourselves with the poor, to advocate with all of our voice for the poor, and to seek opportunities to take risks for and with the poor.” The following list includes myriad examples of living into that social justice commitment.
