We, the people of St Edward's parish,
accept that everyone on this planet is equal in the eyes of God
and that as members of God's family on earth we are called to help our brothers and sisters living in poverty
both here and in the less developed nations of the world.

We will give this help by:

• trying to live more simply, enjoying what we have and not wasting
  money on things we do not need;
• trying to live more sustainably, not using more than our fair share of
  the shrinking resources of our world, which are there for all;
• living in solidarity with those who live in poverty,
  supporting them with our prayers, our action and our almsgiving.

In making this commitment
we ask for God's blessing on our parish community,
as we work and pray together for the coming of the Kingdom.
