| Summary: | We present here a recent declaration by the Micah Network, whose international president is C. René Padilla (office in Surry Hills, New South Wales, Australia). In the words of Padilla, an IBMR contributing editor, this declaration “may perhaps in time be regarded as the most significant document coming out of the evangelical movement on a subject that has hardly received in the past the attention it deserves from people who confess the triune God as the God of Creation.… Established in 1999, the Micah Network has grown into a worldwide movement of over 500 Christian relief, development and justice organizations, churches and individuals. It includes over 330 active members and 230 associate members from over 80 countries. Its primary objective is to encourage the practice that, according to the text from which it derives its name, God requires of his people: ‘To act justly and love mercy and to walk humbly with your God’ (Micah 6:8)“ (from foreword to the declaration; see www.micahnetwork.org/en/home). —Editors |
