Climate resilient communities in the context of WASH
The first reflection of the Seven Weeks for Water 2026 is authored by Rev. Veronica Flachier a Lutheran pastor who currently serves as president of the Ecumenical Human Rights Commission of Ecuador. She was cochair of the WCC Ecumenical Water Network and a member of the International Reference Group for 11 years. Today, she is a member of the WCC Just Community of Women and Men International Reference Group. In this reflection, the author contrasts the biblical vision of life in abundance in Revelation with the harsh reality of inequality and water scarcity facing marginalized communities in Latin America. Ultimately, this reflection serves as a call to action for faith communities to challenge the status quo and actively work toward justice, dignity, and equitable access to essential resources for everyone.

We are with you in solidarity friends from El Salvador...

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16m9hs3Hne/

On December 1, 153 prominent faith organizations from 25 countries released a powerful letter that urges El Salvador's historic 2017 metals mining ban to remain in place. In 2024, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele overturned the ban.

El Salvador faces multiple challenges and environmental threats that would be exacerbated by large-scale industrial mining.

In 2017, El Salvador’s legislature voted unanimously to prohibit all metals mining in order to save its rivers and water. That momentous decision was the result of powerful sustained organizing by ordinary community members in El Salvador, and supported by communities around the world. The faith community played a huge role in that historic victory to defend water and land resources.

“Through this declaration, faith communities from around the world have affirmed their solidarity with faith leaders in El Salvador as they carry out their duty to protect water as a sacred inherited trust, a human right meant to be shared by all,” said the Rev. Dr. Japhet Ndhlovu, Executive Minister for the Church in Mission Unit of The United Church of Canada.

There is also a press webinar with the signatories to the letter to highlight its release, today, December 1 at 2:00 pm ET. Register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XbaQYKnb1qT-JuXLodLtlYzFCj4Lblm_RqGcqDfBOTw/viewform
