Statement From The Participants Of The JPIC & MINING SEMINAR JUSTICE PEACE & INTEGRITY OF CREATION COMMISSION Statement From The Participants Of The JPIC & MINING SEMINAR We, the participants of the Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation (JPIC) and Mining Seminar, representing 36 different catholic organizations and religious congregations from about 14 countries were gathered in Rome from 25 to 27 September 2019. As persons committed to JPIC, we came together in response to the ongoing crisis concerning the impact of mining activities on the environment and human rights and the role of church organizations. In the spirit and light of the Synod on the Amazon which is creating new paths for the Church, we are grateful and inspired by the blessings and fruits of creation: the land that gives us food, the rivers and seas that nourish the earth and all that nurtures life itself. We celebrate the interconnectedness and the sacredness of creation while recognizing that the earth’s goods are finite and some of them are nonrenewable. [DOWNLOAD HERE]
