La respuesta a las necesidades humanitarias en Ucrania

Cuando comenzó la invasión rusa de Ucrania a gran escala, el 24 de febrero de 2022, ya hacía ocho años que las iglesias daban respuesta a las necesidades humanitarias del país, desde la anexión de Crimea, en 2014.  Los esfuerzos de las iglesias para colmar las necesidades de las personas desplazadas por la guerra no son novedad, en cambio sí lo es la escala del fenómeno, con la sobrecogedora cifra de catorce millones de desplazados en los seis meses transcurridos desde el inicio de la invasión.

Ukraine: Auf humanitäre Bedürfnisse reagieren

Als am 24. Februar 2022 die russische Großinvasion der Ukraine begann, hatten die Kirchen bereits acht Jahre lang seit der Annexion der Krim im Jahr 2014 humanitäre Hilfe im Land geleistet. Die Arbeit, die die Kirchen durchführen, um die Bedürfnisse von Kriegsvertriebenen zu erfüllen, ist nicht neu, der Umfang hingegen ist enorm, denn in den sechs Monaten seit Beginn der Invasion wurden 14 Millionen Menschen vertrieben.

Répondre aux besoins humanitaires en Ukraine

Lorsque la Russie a lancé son invasion à grande échelle de l’Ukraine le 24 février 2022, cela faisait déjà huit ans que les Églises répondaient aux besoins humanitaires du pays, depuis l’annexion de la Crimée en 2014. L’action des Églises pour répondre aux besoins des personnes déplacées par la guerre ne date pas d’hier, mais leur ampleur est sans commune mesure face aux 14 millions de personnes déplacées au cours des six derniers mois, depuis le début de l’invasion.

Ukraine: Responding to humanitarian need

When the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, churches had already been responding to humanitarian need in the country for eight years, since the annexation of Crimea in 2014.  The work being undertaken by churches in meeting the needs of those displaced by the war is not new, but the scale is staggering as 14 million people have been displaced in the six months since the invasion began.

Rethinking Ecological Relationships in the Anthropocene era

11 - 13 February 2021

In the age of the Anthropocene, humans as the dominant species are driving significant and even irreversible environmental changes, thereby shaping the future of all living beings and our only planetary home. The complicated relationship between humans and ecosystems has often been mediated by economics and technology. Prevailing theologies and spiritualities have also molded these interactions.
