CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME

Over the past decade, Laudato Si' has inspired a remarkable journey of ecological conversion across Asia. Bishops, clergy, religious, lay leaders, and artists have responded with courage, creativity, and pastoral commitment, demonstrating that care for creation is inseparable from faith, spirituality, and justice. Faith-based communities, civil society groups, and grassroots movements have collaborated to protect forests, rivers, and ecosystems while defending the rights of the most vulnerable, embodying the encyclical's insight that "the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor" are inseparable.

Voices for Our Common Home gathers these testimoniesand reflections, presenting a vibrant mosaic of initiatives from across the continent. This book is part of a broader effort by Radio Veritas Asia to promote ecological awareness and action during the tenth anniversary of Laudato Si!
