The Micah 6 Commission

The Micah 6 Commission is conceived to be one that prayerfully seeks to discern how the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire can “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God” as we witness Christ’s love to a world continually in need. We will strive to partner wherever we can with those agencies, both religious and secular, that we see are already effectively carrying out God’s mission. We will see how so many of the issues we face in the world—racism, environmental degradation, educational, health care and economic inequities, are interwoven. Our work on Micah 6 will reflect the vision of “Tending the Vine” of Christ’s love for the world, both locally and distant.

— The Rt. Rev. A. Robert Hirschfeld
