NCR: Call to Action creates new Vision Council
It's rare that the resignation of an entire board of directors is a good sign for an organization. For Call to Action (CTA), the recent resignation of the board was not only intentional, it was an attempt to signify an new era of justice for a group whose central platform is seeking reform in the Roman Catholic church.
For decades, CTA has been challenging church leaders, as well as the laity, to act for justice and build inclusive communities. But several years ago, after a thorough self-study, the organization realized that it needed to make the same demands of accountability for itself as it had been making for the church.
"In 2010, CTA adopted a strategic plan that called the organization to reform its own structures and practices to be consistent with the organization's values of transparency, inclusion, antiracism and anti-oppression," said Jim FitzGerald, CTA's executive director.
