Social Justice Lectionary
"This website was created to help those who want to approach the weekly readings from the Revised Common Lectionary from a social justice perspective.
For each Sunday in the three-year cycle you will find a number of websites that have been selected to assist you. While the offerings presented are not exhaustive, you will find that they are enough to get you started.
A wide variety of sites have been chosen from the religious spectrum to demonstrate the spiritual depth of our human relations. It is because there are so many ways to express our interconnectedness that this offering must be seen as a work in progress. If you find a site that you feel is valuable, please contact me and perhaps it can be added." Created and maintained by the Reverend Doctor Bruce Sweet, minister in Waterloo Ontario at Emmanuel United Church of the United Church of Canada.

take action together for justice. The Council has membership (appointed and elected) from
eleven church bodies: African Methodist Episcopal, Anglican, Baptist, Christian Church
(Disciples of Christ), Evangelical Lutheran, Mennonite, Presbyterian, Religious Society of
Friends, Catholic, Salvation Army, and United. The Council sponsors in Canada the World
Day of Prayer on the first Friday of March each year, and the Fellowship of the
Least Coin prayer movement. The ongoing work which came out of the Canadian Councils
of Churches' Ecumenical Decade of Churches in Solidarity with Women (1988-1998)
is part of the work of WICC. We are also coordinating the churches' participation in the
