Dear Readers of the JCTR Bulletin:

The 34^th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus, meeting in Rome in 1995, responded to the growing concern among Jesuits for ecology by making some recommendations to Fr. Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, Superior-General of the Society of Jesus. The General Congregation observed that the contemporary debate between development and ecology is often posed as an opposition between First World desires and Third World needs; in fact the terms refer to the many interrelated problems throughout the world. The Society of Jesus can contribute to overcoming some elements of the dilemma by encouraging both international awareness and local action.Complete letter
