URGENT ISSUES

Please sign petition to protect Northern Ireland against more abortion

SPUC usually does not promote online petitions due to their limited merits compared with other campaigning tools. Due to the gravity and urgency of the current situation, however, we would encourage you to please sign (and ask others to sign) the online petition at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Anti-Abortion/

This e-petition to the Prime Minister reads:

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to deny any extension planned for the 1967 Abortion Act to Northern Ireland, as we believe in the right to life."

Our main aims:

• Raising awareness of Justice & Peace issues as central to the life of this parish.

• Sustaining each other in prophetic witness and in working for change.

• Networking with all the groups in the parish effectively.

Our vision seeks a world where:

• There is respect for the integrity of the whole of creation and for the dignity and respect of
every human being.

• There is fairness and equality for all no matter what colour, race, creed or gender.

• People live in peace without nuclear weapons or trade in arms, seeking non-violent ways
of resolving conflict.

• All have access to clean water, food shelter, healthcare, education and a livelihood.

• Where is justice for those who at present have no land, are in debt or are enslaved by
their work.

• Development and the use of resources is sustainable.

How we do this?

• Actively supporting other agencies in their work for Justice & Peace and learning from
their experiences.

How much time will I need to commit to the group?

That’s up to you really! We contact each other by email and we meet formally ????, but some of our members cannot attend all the meetings. You can be as involved as you want to be. You may be interested in one particular issue and be able to share that with us, or you might just want to come along to learn more. Sometimes you may have a lot of time to give, at other times you may have other commitments that mean you may have to take a back seat for a while…the choice is yours!

How is the group run?

At first every group requires some leadership to get it off the ground, but the style of leadership here is very much one of leadership as service and leadership must be shared. Everyone will have an opportunity to run the group and to influence the decisions and direction we take. The members of our group decide on the issues we address.

What do we NOT do?!

We are not a militant campaigning group. We do not take on single-issue political or personal agendas and we do not believe in personalised or aggressive confrontation in our methods. If this is the kind of group you are looking for, you need to look elsewhere. Some or all of our members may take part in protest groups from time to time, but we ourselves are a faith-based group who believe in non-violent conflict resolution…. even among ourselves!

We hope you will come and join our work; it is both rewarding and can be great fun.

“This is not a left or right political agenda. It is something that lies at the very heart of the Gospel and which Jesus himself makes the ultimate criterion for our own final judgement;

When I was hungry,

When I was thirsty,

When I was a stranger..”
