Scarsdale Meeting

 

Two aspects of Right Sharing of World Resources (RSWR) are the “why” and the “how.” The “why” is expressed in the organization’s mission statement: “God calls us to the right sharing of world resources, from the burdens of materialism and poverty into the abundance of God’s love to work for equity through partnerships with our sisters and brothers throughout the world.” The emphasis is on “God calls.”
