30 year old thoughts on Globalization and Justice

Before God and a billion hungry neighbors, we must rethink our values regarding our present standard of living and promote more just acquisition and distribution of the world’s resources.
The Chicago Declaration of Evangelical Social Concern(1973)

All of us are shocked by the poverty of millions and disturbed by the injustices which cause it. Those of us who live in affluent circumstances accept our duty to develop a simple life-style in order to contribute more generously to both relief and evangelism.
Lausanne Covenant(1974)

The rich must live more simply that the poor may simply live.
Dr. Charles Birch (1975)
