United Reformed Church- Commitment for life Commitment for Life exists to help United Reformed Churches work for a fairer world and for peace

 with justice, recognising that change and response starts with each one of us. It is an integral part of the Church and Society programme for social justice.

Working with Christian Aid and the World Development Movement (WDM) we seek to use our influence to ensure that global policies work to the benefit of

the poor – “speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” (Proverbs 31:8-9) The issues we take up include Fairtrade and Trade Justice, poverty

elimination (achieving the Millennium Development Goals), recognising that global inequality also impacts on our own communities in the UK.

Other issues we address are the struggle for peace and justice in Israel/Palestine, HIV/AIDS, and environmental sustainability.
