Land, Water, Air: People Struggling for Life in a Globalising Economy
A Statement by the International Conference on Faith and Ecology
December, 10-15, 2001, Bangalore, India
The concern for people and their sustainable livelihoods brought forty people from ten countries in four continents and from different faith communities to the Ecumenical Christian Centre, Bangalore, India from 10-15 December 2001. The participants shared stories of people struggling for life. These stories inspired reflection on the impact of the present form of economic globalisation on life and survival of people. The conference was jointly organised by the National Council of Churches in India, the Indian Network on Ethics and Climate Change and the World Council of Churches.
