Ministerial Alliance of Champaign-Urbana and Vicinity
The admirable work you do is ultimately about social justice. I support your mission statement that says, in part, that you want to "promote the welfare of all citizens of said community, moral, social as well as spiritual condition, to evaluate and address problems and situations as they affect our community and ministry..." With that in mind, I come here today to talk about perhaps my greatest passion as Chancellor and one that also is a social justice concern: Access. Equal access for all to the American Dream.
