Schools & Youth resources for Justice & Peace

Jul 1st, 2013

Those who work with schools and youth groups will be interested to see Justice and Peace resources produced by the Commission for the Promotion of Justice, Peace and Social Responsibility in Shrewsbury Diocese. Many of the materials have been written by Anne O’Connor of the Commission.

Despite the controversial decision of the diocese to dispense with its Justice and Peace Fieldworker in May 2012 – after 22 years of service – the Commission is continuing its mission. Its members say: “Everyone has agreed it is vital to maintain a strong J&P presence in the diocese and that CAFOD and the Catholic Social Action Network, alone cannot cover the full remit of the Gospels and Catholic Social Teaching. Without J&P who would speak up for the voiceless, for human rights, for arms control, for care of the environment?” Producing resources for groups and schools is part of the commitment of dedicated lay people to keep the Commission active.
