SEDOS WORLD DEBT WORKING GROUP

The SEDOS Working Group on Debt
Has the following goals:

1. Through research and sharing to continue to deepen our understanding of the causes, consequences, and implications of the external debt of the world's impoverished countries, and our knowledge and understanding of the measures now being taken to relieve the debt burden of the poorer countries.

2. Through reflection and study, to develop a faith-based assessment of the debt crisis, and use it as a window for developing a comprehensive faith based critique of contemporary economic practices and structures.

3. Through lobbying, advocacy, networking with other groups, and other activities, to support actions to solve the problems of world debt.

4. To seek to promote awareness of the debt crisis, particularly among our own religious congregations, promoting a sense of our own responsibilities in relation to the debt and related economic issues.

The group meets once a month. Each month the date for the next meeting is decided. You are welcome to join us. For more information contact Sister Catherine Arata, SSND: carata@pcn.net or SEDOS Secretariat, 06.5741350 email: sedos@pcn.net
