Justicia medioambiental

La CMIR sostiene que estamos en medio de una crisis climática que amenaza la existencia de toda la vida en este planeta. En el mejor de los casos, disponemos de los próximos diez años para revertir las causas del cambio climático. Esto incluye, entre otras cosas, la reducción de los niveles de contaminación del aire, de la tierra y del agua. Como personas cristianas compartimos la responsabilidad de trabajar por la justicia climática y, como personas cristianas reformadas, creemos en una alianza por la justicia en la economía y en la tierra.

Década por la Justicia climática
En su reunión de noviembre de 2021, el Comité Ejecutivo de la CMIR convocó una Década por la Justicia climática. Al hacerlo, el Comité Ejecutivo reconoció la crisis existencial que enfrenta este planeta y convocó a la acción concreta a toda la comunión.

Tiempo de la creación
La CMIR es miembro del Tiempo de la Creación, un movimiento ecuménico que se celebra anualmente del 1 de septiembre al 4 de octubre entre personas cristianas de todo el mundo. Es un tiempo para reflexionar sobre nuestra administración de la creación de Dios y para incidir por la justicia climática. Durante este tiempo de celebración se invita a todas las personas cristianas a unirse a la celebración organizando un acto local o buscando sensibilizar a sus comunidades.

Listen to the Land! Responding to Cries for Life

While we struggle for justice with people’s movements and other organizations, the issue of ‘land’ has emerged as a crucial factor in the destruction of creation itself, with all its beings. Therefore, at the 2013 Oikotree Global Forum the movement decided to develop a thorough theological reflection on the issue of Land.

The Oikotree Transformative Theology Working Group, one of the five working groups in the Oikotree Movement, has prepared these materials as a resource for churches, other faith communities and social movements in their response to the economic and ecological crises facing the earth, her peoples and all her beings.

It is time to move beyond confession, take responsibility and act in solidarity with the people who continue to lose their land, suffer, and die at the hands of colluding governments, corporations and paramilitaries.

 

Life-Enhancing Learning Together

One of clear awarenesses coming from Oikotree movement is that a new epistemology and methodology for theological thinking and theological education/training is urgently needed for churches and theology in order to respond to the enormous challenges of the contemporary life-annihilating human “civilization” manifested in economic injustice, ecological destruction, the threat of Empire and the escalation of religious conflicts today.

Today, therefore, is the time when a new Life-enhancing culture needs to be explored, reflected and lived out based on those relational, organic and reciprocal concepts like UbuntuSangsaengSumak Kawsay, etc.

This is a collection of the papers contributed as brainstorming voices from various regions to the Oikotree Workshop on Transformative Education in February 2015 in Matanzas, Cuba. It is our hope that this book is used as one of the stepping stones by which more resources in various forms, including the arts and actions as well as written, will be generated.
