장로교 유엔 사역

장로교 유엔 사역은 국제 사회에서 오랜 역사를 가지고 있습니다. 1945년 설립 이래 유엔에서 활동해온 미국장로교는 유엔을 통해 특별 협의 지위를 유지하고 있습니다. 1998년부터 경제 사회 이사회에 참여했습니다. 이러한 지위를 통해 전 세계에 장로교의 목소리를 전달하고 안건에 기여를 했습니다. 장로교 유엔 사역은 컨퍼런스에 참석하고 성명을 발표하고 옹호활동과 네트워킹에 참여하고 있습니다.

유엔의 혼란스러운 상황과 힘든 외교 속에서, 장로교 유엔 사역은 장로교인들이 지구촌에서 예수님의 신실한 제자로서 사역할 수 있도록 영감을 주고, 준비시키고, 연결합니다. 우리는 어디에 있든지 긍휼한 마음을 가지고 평화와 정의를 추구하라는 그리스도 안에서 하나님의 부르심을 실천할 수 있도록 교육합니다.

Make red hands to say that children are children, not soldiers.

UNICEF estimates that as many as 300,000 children under age 18 are engaged in armed conflicts in various places around the world. This all takes place despite international laws that prohibit the use of children as soldiers. As followers of Jesus who welcomed children, Presbyterians have joined people around the world in an effort to change this situation: the Red Hand Campaign. The message of the Red Hand Campaign is clear. Red hand prints proclaim the message to the world — children should NOT be used as soldiers! Over 300,000 red hands have already been delivered to world leaders. The Red Hand Campaign calls for universal ratification and enforcement of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict.

RED HAND CAMPAIGN

The challenges of our time can seem daunting, from climate change to a world recovering from the Covid pandemic. It may seem more so for young people who’ve been given the task of solving these problems.

Since its existence, the Church has been addressing these intractable issues, from eradicating poverty, hunger, and the exploitation of the earth and its people. Our denomination, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), has been engaging in the Matthew 25 vision that calls upon the Church to care for the most vulnerable and to seek flourishing of all God’s people, specifically to fight poverty, racism, seek climate justice, gender justice, to embrace peacemaking, and human dignity for all people.

We invite you to be part of this community working for justice, doing so as people of faith. Each of us can identify ways we can be involved, both individually and collectively, with our churches and communities by focusing on areas where our passions lie and where we can be most effective. And in turn, we pray that you will grow as you discern how to respond to God’s call to walk alongside the world’s people and restore the Shalom God intends for all people and Creation!
