The Presbyterian Church has an official position on sweatshops, and they’re going sweat-free with their own group Sweat-Free Ts:
Sweat-Free Ts is inspired by our biblical faith and call to discipleship—as well as growing consumer demand within the modern-day garment industry for responsibly sourced products. “Clean clothes” and anti-sweatshop campaigns have also helped shape our work. Advocates in many places are encouraging manufacturers to produce goods in ways that respect the dignity, safety and rights of workers. There are many ways concerned Presbyterians can support our sisters and brothers in Christ who work hard on the production end of the garment chain.

“”Sweatshop Free from Presbyterians”"
I totally misinterpreted that.

Comment by Ms. Theologian 04.11.08 @ 8:49 amAs in “there are no Presbyterians in our sweatshop”?

Comment by Ms. Theologian 04.11.08 @ 9:41 amI’m not grammarian, but wouldn’t that be “sweatshop free of presbyterians?” Free from … free of … free from … free of … Oh, I see it now.
Comment by h sofia 04.11.08 @ 10:28 amI would not want to buy from a place that forced Presbyterians into sweatshops either, though!
