- "Since the Millennium Development Goals wer announced in 2000, a global movement has emerged. Around the world, and across the United States, Christians are joining other people of faith; secular activists; develoment economists; national, local and community leaders; public health officials and many others in a unified effort to eradicate extreme poverty. Together we are calling for a re-alignment of national policies, the church's witness and our personal actions in response to the cry for mercy from the poor. .... Christians need to take action. We can't solve all the world's problems, but our power can save lives. We need to build relationships across boundaries of income, nationality and distance, and we need to give of our own for the eradication of poverty". -- Intro., pp. 11-12.
