- "This collection of essays has been produced about the same time as HM Government's second White Paper on international development, `Eliminating World Poverty: Making Globalisation Work for the Poor' which was published in December 2000. It has been designed to be read alongside the White Paper offering comments from distinctively Christian points of view on many of the issues raised in it." -- Intro. p. xiii.
- "How can governments, international organizations and civil society work together to ensure that globalization works to the advantage, rather than the detriment, of the world's poor ? This question remains central to recent debates about globalization. Looking at diverse areas such as international development, world trade, HIV/AIDS and e-commerce, this collection of essays helps Christians to grapple with the complexity of globalization and what it means to be Christian in a global context." -- back cover.

- "[By] Robert Kinloch Massie, Jr."
- "Public Lecture, the University of Tulsa, October 15, 1995".
- "In this essay I will argue that individuals merge moral deliberation and policy formulation by translating their values into a defined group of organizational principles. In combination these principles provide a common structure that underlies the distinctive moral languages of different organizations. In brief, I contend that when members of organizations are asked to deliberate about policy they appeal to five different core principles, or `organizational imperatives' : survival, growth, efficiency, legitimacy, and consistency. While under normal conditions participants in policy discussions rely most heavily on the growth and efficiency imperatives, conditions of crisis transform those deliberations in such a manner that legitimacy, consistency, and survival emerge as the most important. At the end I will offer some reflections on the implications of these insights, suggesting that with this typology we can 1) better understand policy debates taking place within organizations 2) craft more effective arguments to influence the direction of policy and 3) reshape our institutions so that they are more likely to take ethical considerations into account as they establish and implement their plans". -- Intro., pp. [1-2].

Massachusetts Considers Divesting Hydro-Quebec Bonds; Anglican Church Representative Presents Brief

- Text
- The Anglican Church has taken its opposition to the James Bay II power project to the United States, in hopes that Massachusetts will become the second state to disassociate itself from the project.
- Recently, the New York Power Authority cancelled a contract to purchase power from James Bay II. Now, a bill before the Massachusetts legislature would require the state's pension fund to divest its holdings in Hydro-Quebec bonds. The Reverend Peter Hamel, the church's consultant on national affairs, will speak on behalf of the bill today [Wednesday] before the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Public Service. He was invited to participate in an intervention by the Anglican Diocese of Massachusetts.
- The church's opposition to the project stems from concern about the effects of the development on the aboriginal people of the region and on the natural environment. It says there should be a moratorium on construction until a comprehensive environmental assessment of the project has been completed, and until an agreement has been reached with the Cree and Inuit.
- Mr. Hamel's brief to the joint committee says the Cree and Inuit must play a full part in determining appropriate resource development in northern Quebec. Noting the fishing and harvesting of wildlife are key to the aboriginal lifestyle, the brief says: "The continued viability of the aboriginal economy should be an objective of northern development, not its price."
- The Canadian church's actions have been supported by resolutions of the Episcopal Church U.S.A., and by the Diocese of Massachusetts, which has also asked the state's public utilities not to purchase power from the project.

- "Contemporary threats to the earth and the human family arise in large measure from the acceptance by many people of consumerism, economic globalization and violence as the main values by which to live. In the face of the potent destructive forces unleashed by such life-styles, this book argues that respecting the earth and building sustainable community calls us to live out such spiritual values as gratitude, humility, sufficiency, justice, peace, love, faith and hope. After an exposition of how each of these values motivates active engagement for earth community in Christian and other faith traditions, the author presents a case study of how individuals and groups are seeking to put that value into practice". -- back cover.
