We have grown in our understanding of healing and seek to be present to life in a healing way. This growth helps us to see that the whole community of Earth is a fundamental concern and that efforts to live in a healing way is intimately linked with a search for justice, the shape of just relationships in the Earth community.

 

Therefore we take a stand for wholeness with the Earth, with those made poor, with those in need of healing, especially women and children. We network with others in our conscious search for ways that lead to fullness of life.

 

To be present in a healing way impels us to deepen our attitude of nonviolence in dealing with conflicts in our lives, in communities and in the world, so that reconciliation and peace can grow.

 

All of this is intimately linked to the search for just relationships in the Earth Community.
