A New Year's resolution worth making and keeping

However you personally feel about New Year's resolutions, I think this one is worth the effort. And I resolve to keep coming back to it and working to make more people aware of these Millennium Development Goals. From Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori's New Year's message...

“Consider what might happen if all of us resolved to make 2007 the beginning of a new era in which the hungry are fed, the ill cured, the young educated and women and men treated equally”, she writes. “What if all had access to clean water and adequate sanitation, basic healthcare and the promise of development that does not endanger the rest of creation?”

Dr Schori, who was a practicing scientist before she became an Anglican priest, continued: “For people of all faiths and for those who claim no faith, the Millennium Development Goals provide a way in which together we can achieve greater global good by leading local lives intent upon the eradication of poverty and disease.”
