The social justice of Fair Trade products is significant. We have taken a position to offer F/T coffee in the territory and may soon launch another project to promote the Fair Trade business. When we support F/T labourers are being treated fairly as it relates to compensation from start to finish of the product. Look for F/T products on the shelves of your grocery store and certain conscientious vendors. We can make a difference and honour God. Please join us.
Proverbs 2:9
So now you can pick out what’s true and fair, find all the good trails! Lady Wisdom will be your close friend, and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you. They’ll keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions Of those who are lost themselves and can’t tell a trail from a tumbleweed, These losers who make a game of evil and throw parties to celebrate perversity, Traveling paths that go nowhere, wandering in a maze of detours and dead ends.

YES!! Surely this is part of Jesus' good news strategy from Isaiah 61 and Luke 4… may the Spirit be upon us as it was upon Him and let a better world emerge!
Praying for all your efforts.
Thanks, Danielle.
Offering Fair Trade coffee at our THQ canteen is great (and delicious), but I wonder why the Salvos don't use it exclusively? I notice that it is only an option here. Surely backing both horses nullifies some of the impact? Just a thought.
