I trust you will realize, however, that as committed Christmas, these reac- tions are inconsistent with the command to be obedient, the command to love that is ours. Let us read for a moment two selections from the gospels: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has, sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." (Luke 4: 18-21) "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me." (Matthew 25:31) (Note Jesus' iden- tification with those who are suffering.) In the first passage Jesus lays out the thrust of his ministry. In the second he identifies himself with those to whom his ministry is directed --He doesn't say when someone else is in prison, or sick, or hungry- -minister to him -her. He says, "I was in prison..." Our mandate for in- volvement in human rights issues lies in the call of a God who is constantly liberating those in bondage and in a Christ who sets us all free to be whole persons. It is in recognition of so many violations of the rights of individuals to become fully human that the United Church has specified this year's mission theme as "Human Rights". I wanted to' point out these considerations for us as Christians before I proceeded to fell you about Amnesty Inter- national. My involvement in Amnesty International comes about largely as a result of my Christian faith. So let us look now at the situation in our world where over 100 countries throughout the world have imprisoned people for their beliefs, tortured them, denied them fair trials, or otherwise denied their rights. It's a grim picture„ but it would be even grimmer if these flagrant violations of human rights were not being met by voices of protest. So let us ' ask two questions: What is being done and what can I do? What is being done? Amnesty International is at work --the largest in- ternational NGO solely concerned with human . rights. Founded in 1961 by lawyer Peter Benenson out of his concern over the growing number of people detained for political or religious reasons, it has grown to an organization with thousands of members in 109 countries, 35 of which have national sections of A.I. There are 2,000 adoption groups working on specific cases of prisoners of conscienqe-- A.I. handles abbte 7;000 such cases each year. There is one prerequisite for mem- bership in A.I.--a burning conviction that there are right that all of us should enjcfy as human beings. Amnesty International is an independent and impartial organization working universally --it is not_ associated with any government, political party or religious creed. A.I. has consultative status with the United Nations, UNESCO, and the Council of Europe, cooperative relations with the Inter -American Commission on Human Rights of the Organization of American States, and observer status with the Organization of African Unity.
