The ecumenical commitment to justice and enabling people to transform their own lives involves meeting immediate human need, enabling churches to work together to address the structural roots of injustice, and also helping them to identify and combat threats to creation itself.  

This programme will attempt to hold these different forms of ecumenical engagement with justice, diakonia and responsibility for creation together in new ways.
