SSND maintains a presence and participates at the UN,
because "the world is the concrete situation in which we
carry out Christ's mission." And it is here, too, that "the
church continues the presence and mission of Christ."
(SSND Constitution, prologue)
Our charism, vision and mission continue to animate us
and connect us with the goals and purposes of the
United Nations. In our struggle to create a more just
and global community, we strive to foster our relation-
ship with this world-wide assembly of nations, especially
by:
infusing the spirit of peace, tolerance, and interfaith collaboration
promoting the economic and social advancement of persons, and
developing friendly relations among nations based
on the respect of human rights.
