About Church in the World Ministries
Justice Ministries at Saint Mark’s Cathedral are referred to as “Church in the World” (CIW). Through these ministries, we strive to be a church serving a world of interests larger than our own. We deepen our spiritual and community life by focusing on ministries of service and outreach on behalf of the Diocese and the larger community.
The Mission of Church in the World Ministries is to work boldly for justice, reconciliation and peace among all people, to resist injustices perpetuated against the earth and its inhabitants, and to engage the entire community of Saint Mark’s by creating awareness of and fostering responsibility for our impact on the world.
