Who Profits?

By / 5 February 2009

The story in Mark 12 has become known for the small contribution the widow made to the treasury, and Jesus’ commendation of her. And fair enough. But liberation theologians point out that the story starts when Jesus sat down to watch the crowd and their money. A theology born of oppression and injustice reminds us “keep your eyes on the money”.

A new grassroots initiative, the Israeli Coalition of Women for Peace, has set up a web site to help do just this in regards to the occupation of Gaza. The database and information center reflects an on-going two-year effort, rigorous research, and documentation of who profits from the Israeli occupation.

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
