This handbook, Reflecting on Social Justice: A Process for Change, is written to accompany the ECREA report Social Justice in Fiji: Christian Perspectives which was carried out in Fiji in 2006. It is offered to the Christian churches as a resource to promote dialogue and commitment to social justice in parishes and churches. According to ECREA's report, a large number of people believe the churches are not responding to issues of social justice in a consistent and effective manner. Even with charitable works, people feel some churches use them for proselytizing purposes. Many feel alienated and or frustrated by their churches' lack of presence and visibility. Some have changed religion on account of never having received a visit from their minister, pastor or priest. Others, while expressing strong allegiance to their own churches, find fault with them because of their lack engagement with 'structural' issues such as land, poverty and racial discrimination. Some even believe churches have become irrelevant to peoples' lives while others feel burdened by them
