DO NOT ENVY THE VIOLENT OR CHOOSE ANY OF THEIR WAYS
We pray furthermore that violence of any form will be put to rest. The UCCP is in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the Roman Catholic Church and with Muslim brothers and sisters who are directly affected by the atrocious attacks as we are also in solidarity with other religious groups and communities that seek for peace, justice and truth. In these challenging and changing times, we need to decisively put our acts together against the forces of darkness that sow violence. We demand justice for the victims of the bombings in Mindanao!
PROTECT AND SAVE THE LITTLE ONES FROM THE REAL CULPRITS; REJECT HB 8858 LOWERING THE MINIMUM AGE OF CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY
The United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) deplores to the highest level the approval of House Bill 8858 to lower the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility (MACR).
We further call on our local churches to take seriously to heart our Christian Education ministry to discourage children from committing crimes of any sort; and engage in community ministries undertakings that cater to children with great emphasis on children’s rights and protection.
