From the editor

Did you miss the August Faith Doing Justice Newsletter? Sorry folks - I was in Manila and my IT arrangements let me down. We are now moving our publishing schedule to the first Thursday of the month.

Our social justice concerns today involve many overlapping layers of actors, causes and consequences. How can the principle of subsidiarity inform our networking for change at different levels?

Quote of the month

"In order not to produce a dangerous universal power of a tyrannical nature,the governance of globalisation must be marked by subsidiarity, articulated into several layers and involving different levels that can work together."
Benedict XVI, Caritas in Veritate, n 57
