Local church
mixes morning
coffee with
social action
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
When Unitarian Univer
salists gather for fellowship
after Sunday morning servic
es. they are increasingly mix
ing a bit of social activism
with their freshly brewed cof
fee. In a program sponsored
by the Unitarian Universalist
Service Committee, hundreds
of churches across the coun
try are drinking fairly traded
coffee that ensures low
income farmers in Latin
America and elsewhere fair
prices for their products.
The Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship of Winston-Salem
is among more than 500 UU
churches, or about half of all
UU churches nationwide, that
have chosen to express their
social justice values by pur
chasing coffee from Equal
Exchange, a worker-owned
fair-trade organization that
buys from small farmer coop
eratives around the world.
"Unitarian Universalism is
a practical religion, and this is
a way for a person to literally
put their money where their
mouth is." said Rev. Charlie
Davis of the UU Fellowship
of Winston-Salem. "The
choices we make each day
have impact on the rest of the
world. Drinking fair-trade
coffee reminds me that I am
connected to the farmer. It is
my way of being grateful."
Unitarian Universalist
Service Committee, an inter
national human rights organi
zation based in Cambridge.
Mass., joined with Equal
Exchange in June 2001 to
promote the use of fairly trad
ed coffee, tea and cocoa in
UU congregations and in the
homes of UU families.
"We are delighted to see
so many Unitarian Universal
ists putting their faith into
action by promoting human
rights and social justice
through their economic choic
es," said Charlie Clements,
UUSC president. "They are
indeed making a difference in
the lives of small farmers and
their families in Latin Ameri
ca, Africa and Asia."
In addition to helping to
provide small coffee farmers
with sufficient income to
meet their basic needs, UUSC
receives a small percentage of
the proceeds of sales to pro
vide grants for human rights
initiatives in the coffee-grow
ing regions.
"Communities of faith are
looking for ways to do justice
in our daily lives." said Erbin
Crowell, director of the Inter
faith Program at Equal
Exchange. ...One simple way
to reach out to communities in
need is with the cup of coffee
that we hold in pur hand."
The UUSC Coffee Project
joins UUSC. Ejjual Exchange,
small farmers' cooperatives,
human rights organizations
and UU congregations in an
integrated web of support for
sustainable development,
community empowerment
and human rights.
UUSC is one of several
faith-based organizations pro
moting the use of fairly traded
coffee ia-place* of worship
around the country. Equal
Exchange successfully
launched its lnterfaith Part
nership in 1997 with Lutheran
World Relief and subsequent
ly joined forces with the
American Friends Service
Committee, the Presbyterian
Church USA. the United
Methodist Committee on
Relief, the Mennonite Central
Committee. Church of the
Brethren, the United Church
of Christ and Catholic Relief
Services, in addition to
UUSC.
Last year, participating
congregations. offices,
schools and retreat centers
purchased more than 210 tons
of fairly traded coffee from
small farmers, making an
enormous difference in their
lives and their communities.
