Fair Trade and 645

Fair trade
How should followers of Jesus respond to this growing phenomena? Should we jump on and support it? Should we be cynical? What are the facts?

Two things you can do.
1) Get this months Southern Cross and read the article on it. Here is an abstract:
"Does Fairtrade boost church outreach?"
As Fairtrade Fortnight begins in Australia this week, your.sydneyanglicans.net asks whether church-Fairtrade partnerships are a viable option in Sydney. Over 90 per cent of the individuals who sell the UK's leading Fairtrade organisation's products are committed Christians who operate out of local churches. Could this English model work in Sydney?


2) Go and check our the Fair Trade Fair this Sunday at Parramatta Baptist Church
