Hearing and Listening to the Cry of the Earth and the Cry of the Poor
Our common home faces many challenges - from pollution and biodiversity loss to floods, wildfires, drought, and famine directly or indirectly related to anthropogenic climate change. While everyone is affected, the poor and vulnerable are much more at risk and suffer the most. Pope Francis in his letter to the world,
Laudato Si’: On Care For Our Common Home, says, “ … a true ecological approach
always becomes a social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment so as to
hear both the cry of the earth, and the cry of the poor. (L.S. 49
). You are invited to join an online event
