INTERNATIONAL PASTORAL
CARE  NETWORK  FOR
SOCIAL  RESPONSIBILITY


 INTRODUCTION TO THE IPCNSR

IPCNSR
unites specialists in pastoral care and theological education
from around the world to address
JUSTICE
PEACE
and
ENVIRONMENTAL
ISSUES

     The International Pastoral Care Network for Social Responsibility, IPCNSR, is a network of Pastoral Care Specialists working together to foster and promote spiritual, emotional and environmental health for all persons, institutions and the planet.

     There are members in more than fifty countries and on every continent.  Each regional section of IPCNSR is a separate organization.

     We work together to develop communication among pastoral caregivers through the exchange of news and views in our quarterly newsletter, through cooperative action on behalf of justice-centered peace making, through periodic international theory-building conferences, through network gatherings in conjunction with other pastoral care and counseling conferences, and by issuing and publicizing statements of concern on significant issues of justice, peace and the integrity of creation.

Teach your children what we have taught our children, the earth is our mother ...  The earth does not belong to humans; humans belong to the earth ...  Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth.   People did not weave the web of life; they are merely strands of it.  Whatever they do to the web, they do to themselves.

- Chief Seattle, 1854
