They offer resources for prayer and action on a wide range of issues such as trade justice, climate change, responses to refugees, sustainable development, the marks of mission, or corporate accountability. They help plan local and national events at which people can gather information, spend time in prayer, and join in conversation and planning with others who care about the same questions.
