The global Church is encouraging a shift towards ecological economics. Meanwhile, our Federal and State Governments are both introducing wellbeing budgets that include quality of life measures to counter excessive focus on GDP.

In it, we discussed these two paradigms, how they overlap, and how we can draw on them in our own work at the grassroots level.
Cailey Sharp & Dr Michael Walker from the Justice & Peace Office Sydney presented the Curious Grace: Care in the community. A case study example of a drop-in centre model designed to improve community wellbeing.
