Our adoption of the [World Council of Churches’] concern for Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation grows from our faith and cannot be separated from it. It challenges us to look again at our lifestyles and reassess our priorities and makes us realise the truth of Gandhi’s words: ‘Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion means.’ The earth’s resources must be conserved and shared more equitably and, as we are an integral part of creation, this is our responsibility.
