Church C - visited the WCC table at their annual Conference meeting and learned about its work on indigenous justice. The church’s racial justice team consulted with WCC staff about their land acknowledgment statement and ways to build responsible relationships with Native communities in Wisconsin. They decided to join the growing movement of churches in Wisconsin taking restorative action and supporting intertribal repatriation work.

Church D - wanted to build connections between their youth and those in a community very different from their own. WCC staff consulted with the pastor, volunteers and youth and used the WCC network to bridge differences, making introductions that would allow both churches to explore something new.

Church E - was looking for resources on peacemaking. The WCC was able to connect them to the historic peace churches among our membership and ecumenical resources, as well as fellow members the Interfaith Peace Working Group, which works on domestic and global issues, and JustDane, which seeks real change for formerly incarcerated individuals.
