What is the Human Rights Church?

Metropolitan Community Church mission in the world is Tearing Down Walls, and Building Up Hope , as we respond to issues of injustice in our world.

Philosophy

We are called as Christians to:

• stand in solidarity with those who are marginalized and oppressed,
• be partners in working for change,
• be witnesses who call attention to Human Rights abuses,
• be a voice in the international community for justice,
• lift up new generations of remarkable, far-reaching spiritual activists,
• build on hope and create our future.

What is justice?

Harper’s dictionary defines justice as:

The demand of God for justice is so central that other responses to God are empty or diminished if they exist without it (Amos 5:21-24; Micah 6:6-8; Matthew 23:23).

God is the defender of the poor and the oppressed (Jeremiah 9:23-24, Psalm 10:17-18)

When we properly carry out justice, we are agents of divine will (Isaiah 59:15-16)

The context for the carrying out of justice is the creation of community and the preservation of people in it (Leviticus 25:35-36; Job 24:5; Psalm 107:36; Luke 7:29-30).
