OVERVIEW<br />

<strong>Healing</strong> a <strong>Broken</strong> <strong>World</strong><br />

Applying the see-judge-act method <strong>of</strong> Catholic Social Teaching, the Task<br />

Force looked at the world today and tried to assess the situation as honestly<br />

and globally as possible. In order to properly ―judge‖ the results <strong>of</strong> the<br />

assessment, it applied the latest Jesuit reflections on the environment to the<br />

situation at hand. After a short historical excurse, Reconciliation with<br />

Creation is examined in the light <strong>of</strong> the Faith dimension <strong>of</strong> our mission, then<br />

the Justice dimension, and then dialogue with culture and religions, the two<br />

transversal dimensions. Six recommendations for Jesuit communities,<br />

universities and many other environments follow. In chapters seven and<br />

eight, an outline for a community retreat and some more (very) concrete<br />

suggestions are given.<br />
