Religious Orders Partnership for Global Justice
As the strange becomes familiar and the known surprising, we are creating a new world. Distance and limitations are fast disappearing. What are the challenges and possibilities offered by the current process of globalization- a process, which is progressively eroding boundaries, differences, and traditions? What responses does this new world call for and what form of spirituality can motivate, sustain, and refresh global citizens as they labor for justice in the world? Using prayer, discussion, exercises, film and lecture, participants will address:
Current World Situation: conflict and inequality, pollution, poverty and wealth
Emerging Social Connectedness: science, politics, ecosystems, religion, and spirituality
Spirituality for a Global Citizen
Action for Justice: personal, communal and working with the United Nations.
