Good News! Koorong open the door to dialogue

From the justholyhardwear.org.au mob…

Good news:
Koorong has agreed to meet with the Justice and International Mission Unit and discuss how to move forward constructively on ensuring ethical standards are maintained in the production of goods sold at Koorong.

This follows the National Council of Churches in Australia (as well as Victorian Heads of Churches) endorsing a fair trade in Christian goods.

There is still no word from Word bookstores.

Action Message from Age “In fact if you have a holyhardwear card or an action flyer with you could you please visit your local Word bookstore (everywhere in Oz) with it this Monday (or at least this week) and ask them to join in by contacting the campaign. This could be a great week for work justice. Slave labour for Christian product isĀ  sin.”

James 5:4 “Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.”

    Hey peeps here is an international blog chatting about the ‘new’ campaign??

    Great for coverage but I seem to remember being removed from a christian bookshop over this issue in April 2008. Oh and that little issue last month :)

Got something to say?
