The Vision of the HuRD Chronicles
Our vision is to support those whose human rights are being violated or threatened and whose human dignity is denigrated. We do this through:

  • Direct action on specific issues 
  • Raising awareness about those issues
  • Engaging others to act

Our Mission Statement:
Our mission is rooted in our faith in Christ, our belief that Christ loves all people everywhere, and a deep sense of responsibility to help those in need which is intrinsic to our faith. We will raise awareness and provide practical opportunities to support causes directly related to human rights. These opportunities include individual and group activities, both internally and when appropriate, in partnership with other organizations committed to human rights causes. Examples of such opportunities include, but are not limited to volunteering, email campaigns, social media, letter writing, lobbying, petitions, and protests. We do not judge how one advocates, just that they advocate in some way.

Above all, we do as Jesus would do in regards to incidents and issues of human rights violations and attacks on human dignity and to encourage others to do the same. 



“Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?” And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” And He said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.” But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him,he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’ Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?” And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, 
“Go and do the same.” 

Luke 10:25-37, NASB
