(ENI) Australian Christians put global poverty deadline on nation's agenda

Hundreds of Christians from across Australia converged on the nation’s capital this week for an event called ‘Voices for Justice’ that urged politicians to play their part in halving global poverty by 2015.

Voices for Justice is organized annually by Micah Challenge Australia. The Australian campaign is part of a global network inspired by the prophet Micah’s call to “do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8).

Voices for Justice brings together participants of all ages from major denominations across Australia for worship, training and one-on-one meetings with politicians.
