Ecumenical Canadian Group Urges Governments to Adopt Moral Standards in Response to Economic Crisis

KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, a national church based social justice organization, is calling on federal, provincial and territorial governments to adopt moral and ethical values in their responses to the global economic crisis.

The call comes in a letter to Prime Minister Harper and Canada’s First Ministers that examines how under-regulated global markets, focused solely on profit, led to a worldwide financial crisis while ignoring poverty and environmental destruction.

KAIROS is particularly concerned that some politicians may use the financial crisis as a reason to delay anti-poverty initiatives and environmental programs.
