Peace & Justice Committee

Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being? I will, with God's help. - the Batismal Covenant

Our baptismal covenant requires us to "strive for peace and justice." The mission of the Peace and Justice Committee of St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral is to engage members of the congregation in working with the broader community for peace and justice. The P&J Committee focuses on addressing issues of injustice, inequality, war, and oppression. We partner with organizations at the local, national, and international levels, uniting especially with the peace and justice ministries of the Episcopal Church.

We develop and support projects that focus on long-term solutions which consider the root causes of social problems in order to promote social change and resolve structural injustices. Our work involves public, collective actions, such as legislative advocacy and political action.
