Joint JPIC workshop via internet

Posted on date by author

Last weekend, representatives of the joint Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Commission of the three Salvatorian branches gathered for an online workshop. These included Fr. Marcellin Mukwasay Kabub SDS, Fr. Cris Osares SDS, Sr. Mary Adeline Abamo SDS, Sr. Maya Verdonck SDS, Mr. Dominique Bayet ICDS and Mr. Christian Patzl ICDS. While the representatives of the two religious branches met in Rome, the representatives of the ICDS joined via the internet. The workshop ran for two days, eight hours each day, with breaks in between. It was a particular challenge for Dominique, as his time zone is six hours behind Central European Time. We would like to express our special thanks to him for joining us at three o’clock in the morning!

The team had already drafted a statement and action plan in advance during short Zoom conferences. These points now had to be fleshed out and explored in greater depth.
As the topic of JPIC is so diverse and wide-ranging, priorities should also be set, which will receive special attention in the coming period.

We hope and count on finding fellow campaigners among the members here in the individual units. After all, the tasks relating to JPIC are diverse and can change in nature or challenge depending on the cultural environment. This requires local people to work with us to give the world a more humane and Salvatorian face.
Of course, the problem of different languages is certainly a challenge, but with the online tools available today, a little openness and patience, it can be solved relatively easily.
If you are a member of the Salvatorian Family and these lines have aroused your interest, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Salvatorian Family: JPIC International Online-Meetings

Posted on date by author

An invitation to all Salvatorian Family members

At the end of July, an important step in the cooperation of the Salvatorian Family will take place and needs your support and possible attendance. A three days online conference is planned covering different topics and we invite you to sign in for it. The conferences respect as good as possible the different time zones of each unit. It would be a good sign to be present at least in one of it to show our all Salvatorian unity and close mutual relationship of the three Salvatorian branches. Furthermore, the topics of the conference are of importance for our worldwide Salvatorian mission of today. Each Salvatorian unit is part of the whole and gets in touch with these topics. The international Salvatorian Commission for Justice and Peace and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) made a prophetic commitment at their last assembly: “To realize and awaken the awareness of Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation, and to respond to the calls of the Gospel of Jesus the Saviour, in defence of human dignity, which recreates fraternity, promoting more respect for all divine creation”.

We can see the effects of the imbalance of these concerns all over the world. Whether it is access to clean water or air to breathe, the equitable distribution and payment of raw materials, supply chains, intermediary trade, labour exploitation and migration, or the many armed conflicts with global implications. We all also need to become more and more aware of man-made climate change with its catastrophic effects – and every one of us can do our part to prevent this world from plunging into the abyss. The world would have enough resources for all of us, but it does not have enough to satisfy our greed!

We are called to make our contribution to the preservation of creation. God gave us this world to live in and to keep it, but not to exploit and sell it.
