Fair Trade Resources
We are called to be the Church . . . to seek justice

Buyer Be Fair: The Promise of Product Certification DVD 2006 (57 mins) A look at two major trade goods - timber and coffee - to find out how certification works and whether it helps the world's poor and its lands.



China Blue DVD 2005 (88 mins). Like no other film before, China Blue is a powerful and poignant journey into the harsh world of sweatshop workers. Shot clandestinely, this is a deep-access account of what both China and the international retailers don't want us to see: how the clothes we buy are actually made.







No-Nonsense Guide to Fair Trade, Second Edition by David Ransom (Toronto: New Internationalist Publications Ltd.) This concise book tells the human story behind the products we consume - from coffee farming in Peru and cocoa production in Ghana to jeans manufactured in China and bananas grown in Guatemala and the Caribbean. (382 RAN)




Prayers for a Privileged People by Walter Brueggemann (Nashville: Abingdon, 2008) A collection of prayers “that begin in self-awareness and end in glad yielding to the goodness of God”. (242.8 BRU)
