Church groups respond to water emergency in Flint, Michigan
The Michigan bodies of the United Church of Christ and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) launched The Gospel in Action––Flint in January as President Obama declared a state of emergency in the city over its poisoned water.
Two congregations in Flint are central in that effort: Vermont Christian Church is a designated water distribution point, and Woodside Church UCC is providing water filters and replacement cartridges.
More than 50,000 households in Flint, which is predominantly African American, have not had clean water for almost two years.
