Happy Australia Day!

As we celebrate Australia Day we also remember those for whom this day represents loss of country, lives and self-determination. May we always work for recognition, peace and reconciliation in our great country.

Grant O Lord our God, that as the Cross shines in our southern skies, so may Christ bring light to our nation, to its peoples old and new, and by saving grace, transform our lives. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

トーハン近藤敏貴社長兼出版文化産業振興財団（JPIC）が訴える対話と議論、読書活動推進の重要性：書店数半減で取次事業赤字でも撤退考えず

書店数半減と取次事業の赤字化 トーハン社長であり出版文化産業振興財団（JPIC）理事長も務める近藤敏貴氏は、出版業界が直面する深刻な課題に真摯に向き合っています。 日本の書店数は2003年に約2万1000店舗あったものの、2022年には約1万1000店舗にまで減少し、この20年間で実に半減しました。 電子書籍の普及や物流費の高騰などが要因となり、多くの書店が経営難に陥っています。 この書店数の減少は、書店と出版社をつなぐ取次会社にも大きな影響を及ぼしています。 トーハンの2023年3月期の単体決算では、取次事業が経常赤字に陥っており、物流費の高騰がさらなる負担となっています。 しかし、近藤氏は取次業をトーハンの祖業かつ本業と位置づけ、赤字が続く中でも撤退は考えていません。 出版業界全体の発展のために、取次事業を継続し、書店や出版社を支援していく方針です。 書店との密接な関係と業界振興への…

Exploring ethical fashion as Christians: What is the true cost of fashion?

Natalie Walters, Head of Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) writes:

London Fashion Week took place from 15 - 19 September 2023,  and as seen with various fashion weeks across the world - celebrities, designers and the fashion focused, look at the designers’ offerings of art and expression. The trends therein soon trickle down into our high street and online retailers.

Over the years shows like The  Great British Sewing Bee has got the nation thinking more about garment creation. However, whether we are all in fashion influencers or those who just look for that item that matches with black or doesn’t need ironing we are all stakeholders in the clothing industry.

The rate of fast changing trends namely fast fashion and the big retailers trying to beat each other on price, has had a huge impact on the world’s most vulnerable. Various strands of this are poor labour conditions and human trafficking or those falsely promised better life opportunities, but who end up exploited. The fashion industry also generates high C02 emissions.

In recent years, we have seen the terrible incidents of clothing factory collapses in Bangladesh which have caused death and devastation, child labour concerns as well as poor labour conditions including factories in the UK.

Why is it important for us as Christians?

We have a duty of care to ensure that we are not contributing to modern day slavery or unethical practices. The many faces may be invisible to us but not to God. They are made in the image of God, and we are called to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice. Proverbs 31:8-9

Everyone loves a bargain, and our clothes are a great way to express ourselves or show our personality but let us always ask ourselves the true cost of fashion.

What could we do?

As a church explore and raise awareness of Modern Day Slavery and the signs- great information is found at https://theclewerinitiative.org/

Advocate for fair pay and better conditions both here and abroad

Seek to support ethical clothing brands

Recycle or upcycle clothing

Donate any unwanted but in good condition clothes to charities or refugee centres, give to those in need locally or send to relief efforts

If you are a creative, see how you can use discarded clothes as activism; create artwork or recycled based fashion and maybe place your art in a prominent place in your church to remind people to pray or act. Or if you have a church sewing group you make patchwork blankets for those in need

Hold a community bring ang buy sale or fundraising

Do a great fashion fast- though this took place last year it is still a great way to get youth involved and either raise some funds or a group challenge. https://www.tearfund.org/campaigns/join-the-great-fashion-fast

Whatever you do, take time to consider the cost!

Thousands of Nuns Sign Letter Supporting Trans People Wait, a bunch of Catholic nuns did what?In a letter published on Transgender Day of Visibility, thousands of Catholic nuns signed and released a letter of support for "transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive individuals." The news comes amid scathing remarks made by the U.S. Catholic Church, which advocated for Catholic health care groups to stop all gender-affirming medical procedures and surgeries. In the statement, the nuns urge their fellow Catholics to “act to transform our hearts, our church, our politics, and our country to ensure that the dignity of our trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive siblings are acknowledged, boldly accepted, and celebrated."The letter continues:"The Gospel call of unifying love compels us to actively interrupt harmful interactions in daily life and dismantle the systems that reinforce this rhetoric and violence in society, particularly for Black, Indigenous, and other folks of color. We will remain oppressors until we — as vowed Catholic religious — acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ+ people in our own congregations. We seek to cultivate a faith community where all, especially our transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive siblings, experience a deep belonging."It also adds that "we know our actions and commitments must extend beyond" Transgender Day of Visibility, when it was published. "As members of the body of Christ, we cannot be whole without the full inclusion of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive individuals."According to the Washington Post, the letter was signed by reps from the U.S. Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Sisters of Providence of St. Mary-of-the-Woods, and Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth JPIC, and more, which represent over 6,000 individuals. The Washington Post spoke with Sister Barbara Battista of the Sisters of Providence, St. Mary-of-the-Woods, who said the letter was being drafted in response to anti-trans legislation when the U.S. bishops released their doctrinal statement on gender affirming procedures in Catholic health care centers. “There’s a sense of urgency in me to say that there are many, many faithful Catholics who know a different way. We need to find opportunities to speak up and to say, ‘We are with you, we support you.'"A nonbinary member of the group that assisted in the letter — who remained anonymous — told Religion News Service who published the statement: "It’s past time for religious communities to speak out against the injustice, the violence, the exclusion of trans, nonbinary persons within society and the church."They added that "There are members of religious communities who identify as transgender or nonbinary. They’re not ‘out there.’"Photo via ALEX HALADA/AFP/Getty https://www.papermag.com/catholic-nuns-trans-2659718911.html

Over the Heisei era the Japanese economy was confronted with a multitude of uncharted challenges: the collapse of the economic bubble and nonperforming loan problem, the Asian currency crisis and consequent failure of major Japanese banks, population decline and low birthrates . . . Policy responses were by necessity experimental, often implemented without a clear idea of their outcome, and their effects persist even today. What can Japan’s experience tell us about the creation and growth of asset bubbles? How can socioeconomic shifts influence real populations, and what might this mean? This volume, the third in the Examining Heisei Japan series, gathers together representative essays, contemporary analyses, and corresponding recommendations on economic issues which remain as relevant as ever in our current climate of renewed global economic uncertainty. Examining Heisei Japan seriesThis series, carried out in collaboration with the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA), looks back at Japan's Heisei period (1989–2019) and the many changes and challenges that occured in the fields of diplomacy and security (vol. I), politics (vol. II), economy (vol. III), and society and

From September 1 – October 4 2023, the Christian family united worldwide in prayer and action for creation during the Season of Creation.

St Francis of Assisi may have changed the world, but he was just a man who lived the Gospel in a radical way. October 4 is the Feast of St Francis of Assisi (the patron saint of ecology) and the conclusion of the 2023 Season of Creation. We pray with St Francis for all of creation, the poor and peace in our world.

“Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures, especially through my lord Brother Sun, who brings the day; and you give light through him. And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendour! Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness. Be praised, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars; in the heavens you have made them, precious and beautiful. Be praised, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air, and clouds and storms, and all the weather, through which you give your creatures sustenance. Be praised, My Lord, through Sister Water; she is very useful, and humble, and precious, and pure. Be praised, my Lord, through Brother Fire, through whom you brighten the night. He is beautiful and cheerful, and powerful and strong. Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Mother Earth, who feeds us and rules us, and produces various fruits with coloured flowers and herbs. Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of you; through those who endure sickness and trial. Happy those who endure in peace, for they will be crowned.”

St. Francis of Assisi
