Greetings, Friends in this effort,
I have found the World Council of Churches' 28 page 'discussion document
' Caring for Life: Genetics, Agriculture, and Human Life' most helpful,
both for its depth and conclusions, and for giving credibility to my
arguments with some people who represent a considerable part of our
population, including some politicians. And it has encouraged me that
our concerns are being shared in powerful circles--at least this one.
Below are this paper's conclusions which are calls to action and include
such statements as:
"To build partnerships with civil society, people’s movements, small
scale farmer groups and Indigenous Peoples in opposing the science,
philosophy and practice of genetic engineering in agriculture..."
* The way forward.*
The full document can be seen at:

Or, I can forward it to you electronically as an attachment.
