The United Church of Christ
has established the Asia Tsunami Relief Fund to supplement its relief,
recovery and rehabilitation efforts in the region. In addition to
$93,000 in assistance shared within hours of the tragedy, the 1.3-million-member
church is raising an additional $207,000 from church members and friends
to support the denomination's long-established ecumenical partners
in the affected regions.
"We serve anyone who is in need," Dr Minshall said. "In
our eyes, when it comes to need, there is no race, creed or caste.
If you are in need, we stand willing to respond." The much-needed
financial resources will provide food, clothing, shelter, clean
water, medicine, medical care, trauma counseling and housing reconstruction
for those struggling to recover from the disaster.
