Social Action Leadership Team
Welcome to the home of SALT, here on the website of the Chapel of the Resurrection. The Social Action Leadership team is the Spirit-led social justice ministry of the Chapel of the Resurrection in which students in community seek to embody the Christian call to be the "salt of the earth" (Matt. 5:13). Taking seriously this call, SALT students develop and practice a Christian theology of social action, and raise awareness and encourage a Christian response to social justice issues.
Having together developed the skills of community organizing and fund development, SALT alumni are equipped to serve as leaders in Christian congregations and other community non-profits throughout the world. "ScatteredSALT" is a Yahoo! group so that SALT Alumni and friends can stay in the know about SALT's activities without getting buried by the weekly agenda emails and calls to action.
You're also encouraged to visit our World Relief Campaign site. We're very active in the campaign, which gathers monetary resources to benefit people around the globe, and right here in the United States. Last year we raised $12,450 to purchase a peanut roaster to produce specially-formulated peanut butter for children in Malawi, Africa: peanut butter that increases body weight and increases levels of health.
The year before that we raised $10,000 to buy books for a library in the Crow Creek Indian Reservation, in South Dakota. The reservation is an extremely poor area of the nation and is badly in need of help. One hundred percent of the money we raised helped the children of Crow Creek.
