Congregations across the region are engaging in conversations about what a living wage entails and wrestling with the questions about how to live the commitment to a living wage in our congregations and in the public sphere.

The following is a compilation of sermons and reflections, from laity and clergy, on what it means to work for economic justice and a living wage.

This page is meant to serve as a community resource and space to share the conversations happening within our congregations. Please email info@thechurchcouncil.org if you would like to contribute.
