ECOLOGY AND THE CHURCH

The Summit diversity and sources

The Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato si '- "Be Praised " has become the inspiration for efforts to enhance chemical and environmental safety and security. This is the first encyclical in the Church' history entirely dedicated to natural environment protection. "Laudato si - Be praised" is where Pope Francis points out that man is part of nature and depends on it. Present day threats to environment call for a strong "ecological conversion."

 A panel discussion which brings together representatives of the Church and secular activists will focus on the Pope's teaching on environment protection. The participants will consider Christian tradition and practice which favour greater commitment to environment protection.  The session will be a pat of the Global Chemical Safety and Security Summit CHEMSS held simultaneously with the Global Chemical Safety and Security Fair CHEM-SAFETY-EXPO.

Join us in Targi Kielce from from 18 to 20 April 2016.
