Public Policy Committee

Maine Council of Churches Public Policy Committee
Committee Co-Chairs Rev. Carolyn Lambert and John Hennessy

During the legislative session, the committee meets monthly either in Augusta or Brunswick. They work closely with our partner organizations to identify important bills where the voice of faith can make a difference. To guide the work of the committee, the MCC Board of Directors has adopted the moral agenda.
