Synopsis

Based on the developments and programme guidelines on justice, peace and the integrity of creation, 45 representatives and JPIC activists from UEM member churches in Africa, Asia and Germany came together from 10th to 17th February 2008 in Batam, Indonesia for the fourth International UEM Consultation on Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation. The recent history of Batam island itself, located just a few kilometers away from the city of Singapore, reflects the changing world and the impact of globalization. And churches on Batam are struggling to respond to the challenges in this fast-changing world. The message, together with the recommendations and all contributions available from the participants and resource persons, are published in this documentation.
