  „Coffee used in the church-based program is sold by a Canton, Mass.-based, for-profit worker-owned cooperative called Equal Exchange, which buys from small-scale farmer co-ops in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Parishes that want to purchase the coffee can contact the company or the groups involved in the effort, organizers said.“

  „Participants saw first hand the roots of the LWR Coffee Project, a program that educates Lutherans about the social justice issues around the coffee industry and encourages people to purchase coffee that has been fairly traded. Participants took part in discussions with local economists, historians, Lutheran church leaders, and LWR staff and partners. They also participated in the harvest and stay in the homes of coffee farmers for an up-close experience.“

Lutherans Pursue Good Coffee, Fairly - Fair Trade Coffee Project - Lutheran World Relief Lutherans Pursue Good Coffee, Fairly - Fair Trade Coffee Project - Lutheran World Relief

  „By choosing fairly traded coffee over conventionally traded coffee, Lutherans ensure that the farmers, who grew those beans, are "guaranteed a fair price for their crop which will cover the cost of production as well as provide income necessary for their most basic human needs -- food, shelter, education and health care," Meier said. "It maintains the dignity of the farmer by giving them the means by which to earn a living rather than rely on charity and aid which is not a sustainable way to live."“

  „Who is it helping? Who is it hurting?" And most importantly, "Who am I really worshipping?" Asking questions like these about coffee "filter" into other areas in our lives, raising awareness, and making us more wise and faithful consumers.“
