Hello, all -I'm taking the MDGs class number CMC108. My previous Experience? Training withe ERD as a Coordinator on how ERD works with the MDGs. I hope we cover ways to present the goals, and practical ways for congregations to work toward meeting them. I live in the Yakima Valley of Eastern Washington state - Diocese of Spokane, where we have a 3-congregation group in the process of learning to work together. At this point when I mention the Millenium development Goals, I get a somewhat negative reaction with qjuestions like: Who made up these goals? Why do we have anything to do with the UN? Is this just another bid for $? I want some tools to use, and I hope this class will help. Linda
