Just what exactly are the Jesuits doing with regard to the environment. There was a whole section in our recent General Congregation 35 entitled Reconciliation with Creation, so what’s been happening so far?

Glad you asked… here’s a run down of some broad categories within which we’re seeking some meaningful change.

1. Faith-consistent Use of Assets
2. Education and Young People
3. Pastoral Care
4. Lifestyles
5. Media and Advocacy
6. Partnerships
7. Academic Research
8. Celebration (huh?)

Okay, so this list really doesn’t explain anything. Why not take a few minutes and read through the source document and find out the whole story:
Seven Year Plan for Generational Change

And while you’re at it, why not do a little surfing and look for some initiatives under way. Perhaps there’s something you would want to develop or are already working on?
