A Call to Integrate Faith, Ecology and the Global Economy

bjbj Faith Economy Ecology (FEE) Communities of faith are invited to sign this new statement,
"A call to integrate faith, ecology and the global economy." Read by David Kane As hope-filled
people, we stand in awe of Earth s goodness and its capacity to provide abundant life
for all God s creation. We recognize our interconnection with Earth with air, water, land, plants and
other creatures. We recognize the dignity of the human person as an individual and as
part of a community. We embrace our power and responsibility to create a human economy
that fits within Earth s ecological boundaries, more authentically serves human needs and
builds community. We envision: A new economic model that embodies social and ecological
values bound by Earth s biophysical limits A sufficiency-based economy where all people,
regardless of gender, race or other characteristics, equitably share access to Earth s gifts that
nourish and sustain them: nutritious food, clean water, suitable shelter; where development
is measured by a society s success in increasing human well being while preserving ecological
balance rather than by its gross domestic product. A just global distribution of resources,
knowledge and technology such that well-being flourishes in communities of less industrialized
nations that have experienced underdevelopment and de-growth, or downsizing occurs in communities
in industrialized nations that use a disproportionate share of Earth s resources. A world where
all have secure, meaningful, and ecologically responsible livelihoods and where human activity,
based on cooperation, promotes ecological regeneration, the preservation of beauty and
the restoration of previous damage. closed loop real economy where recycling and reuse
are maximized. People with sufficient resources, opportunities, freedom, and time to care for
one another, engage in civic life, expand their creativity, and deepen their spirituality.
Communities living in peace with sufficient public resources and freely shared knowledge
to ensure health and wholeness for Earth and all its inhabitants. Governance that is participatory
and transparent, through which policy decisions are made as locally as possible, consistent
with the reality that every locality is part of a global society. Yet we witness: The destructive
power of a growth-driven economic model that ignores Earth s limits and its need to rest
and regenerate. The valuing of money and material goods more than humans and ecosystems. The
inherent violence of an economy that grows along with the wealth of a few individuals
and corporations while the natural world and human well being the clearest signs of God
s bounty suffer and deteriorate. The use of international financial institutions, corporate
lobbying and marketing, think tanks, major media and military force to secure the wealth
and power of a small part of society while a great many others, especially women and
people of color are often excluded. Free trade and economic globalization that increase ecological
depletion and leave masses of people vulnerable through deeper poverty and insufficient access
to food, water, education and health care. The loss of people, cultures, species and
traditional knowledge forced aside as our lives are dominated by a world view that seeks
economic growth regardless of the consequences; Soul-deadening over-consumption and the endless
quest for more that paralyzes far too many people in wealthier societies. We also witness
the sheer increase in throughput of material and energy in the economy due to expanding
consumer demand and economic growth that contribute to climate change, species extinctions, loss
of biodiversity, depletion of freshwater and other resources, ocean dead zones, topsoil
degradation, deforestation, dying coral reefs and the decimation of ocean fish stocks. We
stand firm in our commitment to a new way of life and a different economy, based on
the integrity and dignity of all creation, the common good, ecological health and resilience,
sufficiency, equality, solidarity, caring for the most vulnerable and impoverished,
and decision-making at the most local level possible. This will require innumerable inter-related
changes; among them, the four that follow will serve to guide our work: Paradigm Shift
in Mindset and Values: An essential shift from an ethic of exploitation to an ethic
of right relationship is essential for individuals and for society. This will entail change from
a focus on material goods to holistic well-being; from excess to sufficiency; from exclusion
to inclusion; from competition to cooperation; from pursuing privilege to serving the common
good; from the pre-eminence of humanity to the reverence for all life. Toward this end
we will be guided by the wisdom of our sacred scriptures and religious traditions, especially
Sabbath traditions of Leviticus and Deuteronomy and the inclusive table of Jesus, which: provides
enough for everyone, with no one storing up more than is needed; cares for the widow,
orphan, stranger and traveler; honors a weekly Sabbath, providing rest and human restraint
from busy, frenetic economic activities; allows the land to rest every seven years; decrees
a Jubilee every 50 years, when slaves are freed, debts cancelled and families have their
land restored to them; and models the breaking of bread, by creating strong communities built
on care for one another. Public policies for an Economy of Right Relationship: Starting from the deep recognition that the
economy must fit within Earth s limits where resources are not used faster than they can
be regenerated and wastes are not deposited faster than they can be safely assimilated.
Policies must change to move toward a steady state economy in overdeveloped industrial
countries and sustainable development in impoverished countries. Current institutions and rules
must change so that individuals, communities and whole societies can participate equitably
in the economy and share in Earth s bounty. Financial institutions should embrace the
principle of subsidiarity, allowing decisions to be made at the most local level possible.
Priority should be given to policies that distribute wealth widely and decentralize
economic power. Toward this end we will seek to understand more fully what transformations
are required to attain economic right relationship. We will promote a serious reorientation of
the global economy away from growth and toward human development. We will pursue changes
in laws, policies, international agreements, and institutions to create a more durable,
resilient and fair economy. We will examine our lifestyles and decrease consumption. We
will advocate for sustainable levels of resource use and safe quantities of waste production,
including equitably assigned reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. An Economy of Thriving
and Resilient Communities: living the new paradigm and strengthening its hold on society
we will shift from a perception of ourselves as independent individuals to ourselves as
interdependent members of thriving communities. All have something to contribute as we give
and receive gifts and talents among neighbors through barter systems, cooperatives and worker-owned
businesses. Community-based investment and economic development will help individuals
to deepen their connection with the place where they live and will keep resources circulating
locally. This will build community assets and strengthen social ties. We will embrace
subsidiarity decisions will be made at the local level by the very people whose lives
are impacted most. Toward this end we will learn more from the sustainable community-level
examples known well by indigenous peoples and already functioning in our local communities
in the United Sates and around the world, spread those ideas, participate in them ourselves
and express our solidarity by supporting their efforts. Return of Corporations to their proper place
in society: In order to achieve the changes described above, it is clear that we must
decrease the amount of influence that corporations wield in government and society in general.
The reigning forces in our world should serve the interests of the common good, rather than
the private interests of a wealthy few. Corporations should be accountable not only to shareholders,
but also to, their workers, regulatory bodies, the communities in which they are embedded,
and the natural world. Toward this end we will study the history and design of the corporation
to better understand its proper role in a just world. We will declare a separation of
corporation and state and work for initiatives to decrease corporate influence in government,
the media and our lives. We will work to stop reckless financial practices that exploit
natural resources and people. We will help cultivate financial institutions that respect
Earth s limits and ensure economic participation with dignity for all people. Our call to others:
Grounded in our faith and speaking from our core principles and values, we call on people
of good will to join us in re-examining the false panacea of a development model dependent
on over-consumption. We seek a new understanding of the proper place for humans in the created
world and right relationships within the human community and between the human and Earth
communities. We place our hope in God s grace and the human capacity to face all these challenges
with innovation, faithfulness, and creativity and to ensure the common good so that all
living things might flourish. November 12, 2009 Signing Organizations Adorers of the

Deepening Maryknoll s understanding of the places where faith, ecology and the global
economy intersect A reflection process sponsored by the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns
February 2009 Understanding the ways in which climate change has made us all aware of the
limits of our planet s natural resources, the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns requests
your input to help us understand the various ways in which faith, ecology and the global
economy intersect. We know that you as Maryknollers, living among resource limits and the natural
processes for the regeneration of life. Last year, before and during election season, many
Maryknollers helped contribute to our election reflection guide, Loving our neighbor in a
shrinking world, the homily helps used throughout the year, and the Platform for the Common
Good. Since there was great energy around many of these processes, we are turning to
you to ask for help in surfacing the values and experiences that will deepen our work
around faith, ecology and economy. We ask that you come together in a small group and
follow the reflection process outlined below. You may choose to meet more than once, as
we have two suggestions of videos to watch to get the discussion going. We invite you
to draw on your own experience of the intersection of your faith, the ecology and the global
economy. We ask that you send us your reflections (before May 15, 2009) to help shape the way
we move forward with our Faith m. If God so clothes the grass in the field that grows
today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow will he not much more provide for you, O you
of little faith? As for you, do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink,
and do not worry anymore. All the nations of the world seek for these things, and your
Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these other things will
be given you besides. Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased
to give you the kingdom. Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags for yourselves
that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven that no thief can reach nor moth
destroy. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. 2. Watch together

Martenson Crash Course Chapter 18: Environmental Data available for download at: nd to the
issues raised in the video? Considering the issues that the video surfaced, what are the
most important issues facing our community, locally and globally, today? Are there any
real life experiences that the video brings to mind? Closing prayer: LEADER: Loving God,
we come in gratitude for the gifts surrounding us. Thank you for the earth, its flowers and
grasses that you cause to regenerate over and over again so that we might know beauty
and be fed by your bounty. Be with us as we celebrate your gifts and examine the many
ways that you care for us. Help us to embrace your great and sufficient support. Guide us
as we seek to promote your will on earth. ALL: I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
from where shall my help come? My help comes from God, Who made heaven and earth. WRITTEN
SUMMARY: Please take time to summarize your reflections (during or after the meeting).
A written summary should be sent to kmcneely@maryknoll.org or by mail to the Maryknoll Office for Global
Concerns; P.O. Box 29132, Washington, D.C. 20017 (attention: Kathy McNeely) by May 15,
2009. Please include: The list of the most important values and issues that you raised.
Other experiences (e.g. mission stories related to the themes of faith, ecology and the global
economy) the group discussed. Who participated in the discussion (e.g. affiliate group, regional
Maryknoll grouping, parish group, local pastoral group where you serve). If you include in
your reflection people you minister to in your mission setting, tell us something about
the group (e.g. ethnicity, gender, age, religious affiliation, etc.) and the date and place
where the reflection took place. Please also include any evaluative comments people had
about participating in this process. Thank you again for your enthusiasm and your commitment
to global concerns! Please feel free to contact us with your questions and concerns! ogc@maryknoll.org
