Welcome to the CAAA blog! Check here often for events, service opportunities, and educational links on social justice issues and current events.Here is what CAAA is all about:
Christian Action Against Apathy, or CAAA, is the social justice arm of The Anchor Fellowship. CAAA is involved in local, national, and international efforts to extend the hand of Christ to those in need.
In Isaiah 1:17, God says, "Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow."
This is why CAAA exists. We believe that God has called the church to love, protect, and advocate for the "least of these." Furthermore, we believe the church needs to be a voice for the voiceless, seek justice, and encourage those who are oppressed. We strive to do this in many ways:
HELPING THE HOMELESS: CAAA is involved with monthly homeless outreaches and hosts a food pantry at The Anchor Fellowship.
SERVING THE POOR: CAAA and The Anchor Fellowship partner with First Wesleyan Church to serve meals and hand out free groceries to residents in a low-income neighborhood in East Nashville.
STANDING FOR HUMAN RIGHTS: We engage in peaceful protests to stand against social injustices.
EDUCATING OUR COMMUNITY: We hold monthly documentary nights, host a radio show discussing biblical views on current events, and are starting community classes to educate those in our community on issues like nutrition and healthcare.
HELPING REFUGEES: CAAA is starting a refugee sponsorship program called "The Harbor," through which we can be a friend to those who are seeking refuge from hardships and persecution. CAAA also links with HUMANKIND thrift store, located in The Anchor, to provide school uniforms for refugee children.
RESPONDING TO NEED: CAAA also ahs other ministries to support their work in human rights and helping the poor.
