‘Our world today is faced with a choice. We can build barriers, exclude some people and include others. We can erect walls which will need to be ever higher as the clamour of those left outside grows louder. Or we can work to create a global order where justice and equality prevail and where our belief in our common humanity is enshrined.’
Message of European Jesuit Provincials on 20th anniversary of JRS November 2000.
