Micah 6:8 ..."to do justice..." www.breadcolumbus.org B.R.E.A.D. is a 501 C(3) non-profit, non-partisan organization in Columbus that teaches people of faith how to successfully build the power of their congregations in order to publicly confront the local political and economic systems on issues of justice and fairness.
Bread Rises! Membership is interfaith, including Christians, Jews and Unitarians. It is multi-racial and represents many theological viewpoints. What provides the central focus that holds together this diversity is the commitment to do justice in the way that the prophet Micah outlines it in Micah 6:8. Once a year, usually the first week of May, all the congregations in B.R.E.A.D. come together for the Nehemiah Action Assembly. This is when we bring to the attention of a selected public leader our call for justice to address a specific problem in Columbus. In 2007, over 2000 individuals from the B.R.E.A.D. congregations came to Temple Israel to begin our campaign to regulate pay-day lenders. The B.R.E.A.D. Team at St. Stephen's is coordinated by Rae Fellows. For more information on B.R.E.A.D. their web site is: B.R.E.A.D. www.breadcolumbus.org |
