Today is the third day of the meeting in Budapest about Poverty Wealth and Ecology. People from Europe and all other continents to discuss how the three different subjects are related and what churches should and could do about it.
Obviously there is a clear linkage between them. The change of the climate is a result of the way the world produces wealth and the results of a climate change is to often strikes the poor people most and first.
So we are in a world were we got to change. And if we will not change the the climate will beyond what we can handle. And that is the about the only thing we don´t want to change.
But we need to change our way of thinking of what is growth. We need better instruments to say what is wealth. To just measure it only with "money" is not enough. Money is just an instrument to create the prerequisites for our way of living together and it is important but not enough to describe what makes a good life.
We are looking after it in Budapest but we still haven´t found what we looking for.
