The Task Forces research issues and draft position statements for review and approval by the faith leaders of the AFC. They also identify educational resources for faith leaders and congregations. Task Forces are made up of clergy and laypersons, and they are open to anyone interested in addressing the issues. While the primary focus will be on issues affecting the state of Alabama, many of them overflow into regional, national, and global struggles. In addition, the broad scope of these issues means that many of them will require input from more than one work group. Task Force membership is OPEN to all!
