Social Action in Arkansas

Social Action Ministry fosters action on behalf of justice and peace within the Diocese of Little Rock. It serves as a voice for the poor and vulnerable through education and community involvement. For more information, contact Dennis Lee at (501) 664-0340, ext. 308.

Why is the Church Involved?

The Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church tells us that a sin against the common good and its demands is a social sin that “refers to the relationships between the various human communities. These relationships are not always in accordance with the plan of God, who intends that there be justice in the world and freedom and peace between individuals and groups.” This is why the work of Social Action Ministry is important for helping people within and outside the Catholic Church to understand the connection between justice and people, and how to speak out for the poor and vulnerable.
