Tackling corruption is not only the job of business leaders and politicians but also needs individual action, says evangelical leader Marijke Hoek. The Christian-led campaign against corruption is urging everyone to play their part in making the world a more just place. Hoek says that politics is not only for those working directly in government but for every citizen and that every person should be getting involved in what is happening in their communities, nations and the wider world. "What the co-operative enterprise or collective is capable of is probably most easily recognised in local politics that fosters a common life and pursues a common good - politics with a small 'p', if you wish. "It's community activism that recognises the fractures and flaws in society and their detrimental effect on its citizens."The welfare of our nation lies in the hearts and hands of us all," she says.

Pray: for each of us to accept personal responsibility for the society of which we are part.. (Mt.22:39)
