Searching for ecumenical response to global water crisis
13 MAY 2008
A Charles Sturt University (CSU) student is one of 20 young people from around the world selected to attend the World Council of Churches’ international dialogue centre, the Ecumenical Institute at Bossey in Switzerland, in July. Second year agricultural science student, Mr David Gale, will take part in the first Summer School on Water organised by the Ecumenical Water Network (EWN). The diverse group will study the global water crisis and its local, regional, and international causes and manifestations. They will examine the situation and challenges from a perspective of Christian faith and ethics and look for possible ecumenical responses. “I’m very excited and privileged to have been selected to be a part of this small international group,” said Mr Gale, who lives in the residential college, St Martin’s, on CSU’s Wagga Wagga Campus. St Martin’s is hoping to raise money from the local community to fund Mr Gale’s travel costs.
