Social Justice Calendar for the Year 2000The year 2000 marks a special time for people committed to social justice. The Great Jubilee puts the focus on setting free those who are enslaved, relieving the international debt of poor nations, returning land to its owners and exiles to their homes. It’s also the International Year for Building the Culture of Peace, a time to find ways to resolve conflicts and work for peace around the world. The Australian Catholic Social Justice Commission (ACSJC) has released Seasons of Social Justice – 2000 Social Justice Calendar, providing signposts throughout the year to help keep social justice at the forefront of our reflections and actions. The calendar, which is published as a 56-page booklet, lists important events and historical dates that provide a focus for prayer and social justice activities for individuals, groups, parishes and schools. Accompanying notes explain the significance of the dates, with suggestions for action and inclusion in the liturgy. Papal references and other quotations illustrate the subject to assist discussion and reflection. Contact details are also provided, where appropriate, for readers wishing to follow up their thoughts with action.
Seasons of Social Justice is available (for $6 per copy including postage) from the ACSJC, 19 MacKenzie St, North Sydney 2060, tel 02 9956 5811, fax 02 9923 3440, e-mail admin@assjc.org.au. |
