In this issue of our JPIC newsletter Peter Clark reflects on the latest IPCC report and the recent Bishop's statement, Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor. The Statement draws from Scripture, from the theological tradition, from Catholic Social Teaching, and from the wisdom of the world, including the insights of the First Nations. Peter is passionate about saving our planet from destruction and he shares his wisdom from a lifetime working as a geologist.

A rule of life was given to the early Carmelites by St Albert Avogadro, Patriach of Jerusalem between the years 1206 - 1214. It was finally approved by Pope Innocent in 1247 and later underwent mitigations which were not in the original text.
The Carmelite Rule states that is basic for a Carmelite to "live a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ - how, pure in heart and stout in conscience, he must be unswerving in the service of his Master" [no.2].
The Carmelites of Australia and Timor-Leste are committed to the protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults from all forms of abuse and mistreatment.
We are committed to safeguarding all people in our care, particularly children, young people and vulnerable adults.
