The role of the Commission is summarised in its statement of vision and purpose:
Vision: A diocese fully engaged with the call of God to be a people of justice and peace.
Purpose: As Christians, we are called to try to live out God’s will.
God calls us to act for the common good and the good of all creation.
The main task of the members of the Commission is to answer that call personally and to engage the diocese in doing likewise, in the light of scripture and Catholic social teaching.
The Commission has sixteen members and a full-time Coordinator. It has links with the national J&P Network (www.justice-and-peace.org.uk) and with national organisations working for justice and peace.
We prepare a Three Year Plan to serve as a framework for our various activities.
Each year we produce an illustrated summary of our work of the previous 12 months: J&P summary report 2011
