In the Jewish tradition there is a phrase that describes
what CCU is seeking. This idea is central to a “just peace” church. Acts of kindness performed to perfect or
repair the world are known in Jewish tradition as “Tikkun Olam”. This idea comes from classical
rabbinic teachings meant to assure protection to those who may be at a disadvantage.
One way we at CCU "patch the world" is by our mission giving. We set aside close to ten percent of our budget
funds for mission. This allowed us to
create the Robinson Fund. Through this
fund we help to heal the world and protect the vulnerable. So far we have made this happen in the following
ways:
Assistance for
Legal Help with Immigration for a Pastor $2,500
Donation for
"Gift Cards for Guns" $200
Food for Pathways
to Justice $75
LTLC Fundraiser
Walk $500
Travel Expenses
for Lao Church Visiting Pastor/Consult $1,274
Donation to
Medical Fund for Charlottesville $500
Merrimack Valley Project Fundraiser $1,000
Merrimack Valley Project Fundraiser $1,000
Merrimack Valley
Project Membership $590
Now there are new expenses related to our Sanctuary Network project. The Robinson Fund will help to cover these.
Perhaps there is no better example of "just peace" work than the Sanctuary Network. As I
sit and type I can hear our volunteer contractor putting up a wall up in what will
be our guest’s room. Check the video
below for progress. This will be an effort that will require the cooperation of those within and outside of
our church.
Soon the Just Peace Committee will be working on a covenant that represents CCU's commitment to becoming a courageous church. Stay tuned.
