Action Statement of the South Asian Jesuits for Living and Sharing the Good News in South Asia

We, the 170 delegates to the first South Asian Assistancy Assembly (SAAA), having
met at Mumbai from 22-28 Oct 2001, deliberated on the serious and challenging 
issues related to our LIVING AND SHARING THE GOOD NEWS IN SOUTH ASIA
TODAY.
A deep personal love for Jesus Christ with a genuine commitment to the values
of the New Creation shapes our spirituality. In Jesus Christ we encounter the compas­
sionate face of God turned towards the world. In and though him we realise that God
loves us and His Spirit fills us with the new life manifested in Christ. As an apostolic
body in the Church we are called to be contemplatives in action, walking the way of
Jesus in solidarity with those most in need. The Ignatin pedagogy of discernment 
inspires us to interpret the signs of the times and to listen to what the Spirit is telling
us in the present context of South Asia.
