- Over 24 countries were part of this study project initiated by the Association of World Council of Churches related Development Organisations in Europe (APRODEV) in collaboration with the World Council of Churches and nicknamed `Project 21'. Twenty-four case studies were written. Nineteen of them were based on countries ... Five of them focused on particular subjects (the labour movement, liturgy, transnational corporations ....All the case studies are available on the Project's website . The Project involved several meetings of the case study writers and a major Colloquium in New Delhi in November 2000 which produced an interim `Working Document. The full story of the Project is told in chapter 8". -- Preface.
- "The conclusions emphasize that `wealth' is as much of an issue as `poverty', and call for much clearer Christian teaching on justice and the economic order. They support moves toward a global alliance of local and national churches as a more effective instrument for achieving structural change. They ask for the strategic nature of development projects and programmes to be reassessed. And they assert that local congregations should be taken far more seriously and inspired and equipped to help bring about God's justice". -- back cover.
