Episcopal Commission for Creation Justice
About Us
We are the Episcopal Commission for Creation Justice of Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei, a commission established by the Catholic Bishops Conference of Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei, with a mission to advance justice and resilience for all creation, both human and in nature.
We aim to build a movement of ecological citizens and establish living pathways of creation justice and resilience, inspiring and empowering individuals and communities towards ecological conversion and transformation to build a better, healthier, and a more caring and just world.
Creation Justice
Creation (or Ecological) Justice is justice for all creation, recognizing that all creation is infused with the Spirit of God, our Creator, and that all living creatures have the right to live with dignity. It acknowledges that we, humans, are creatures too, meant to live as One with all other creation, and carry a special responsibility to care for and love our created brothers and sisters, from the poor and marginalized in society to the moss in the forests and the fish in the oceans.
It embraces the interconnection and interdependence of all beings (including natural entities) in the Earth community. Creation/Ecological Justice thus encompasses justice for Mother Earth, climate justice, intra-generational and inter-generational justice, gender justice, and social, economic, cultural, political, food, energy and technology justice.
