The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

Christ has no body but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s compassion looks out on the world. Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good. And yours are the hands with which he is to bless us now.
—Teresa of Avila, 14^th century

The Millenium Development Goals lend clear focus on Christ’s call to us to find him among the poorest of the poor. The links on this Web page will connect you with resources that will inspire you, instruct you, and enable you to learn more about the MDGs and what fellow Episcopalians are doing to end global extreme poverty. Offered here are opportunities to “think with the mind of Christ, love with the heart of Christ, and act as the body of Christ in the world.”

Please take a moment to explore, and you may find yourself changing lives—including your own.
