Mission Statement
Inspired by Gospel values we are an interfaith group who aim to promote Peace, Justice, and the Integrity of Creation.
Activities:
1. We will do this by identifying local and global issues of injustice and its root causes and seeking to educate ourselves and better understand local, national, and global issues of justice and peace.
2. We will work with others where appropriate to educate and provide opportunities for faith communities in our Diocese and communities further afield, to engage and take action on issues of justice, peace and integrity of creation.
3. We will contribute regularly to newsletters, newspapers, diocesan website(s) and other social media to create awareness about issues of injustice, peace, climate change, ecological issues and of our planned activities and work.
4. We will actively engage with schools on relevant issues through projects and other initiatives.
5. We will value the experience of other groups working for Justice and Peace and where appropriate will collaborate with and seek to compliment their efforts to work for a better world.
