Peace and Justice Ministries

Cross of Nails
The Community of the Cross of Nails (CCN) is an international network of individuals and institutions dedicated to a vision of reconciliation in the community, the nation, and the world. Grounding its work in prayer, study and reflection, CCN's members undertake projects that seek to address conflicts over race, religion, and sexual orientation.

Cleveland Coalition Against the Death Penalty
CCADP advocates for the repeal of the Ohio death penalty. The work of this group is particularly important due to the number of executions scheduled in the coming year. Volunteers are needed to write letters to death row inmates, help with petitions, and participate in vigils.

Green Team
"Living more lightly on the Earth" is the motto of the Trinity Green Team. Our goal is to come together to explore ways that we can all live more sustainably. As we celebrate what has already been accomplished, we will release our energy and be empowered to explore how to live sustainably as a church, as individuals, and as members of the community of living beings in the region...state... nation... and world. We are all one family in God's awesome creation! Learn more here.
