Peace cannot be built on an economy that runs on war.

That is the claim at the centre of a theological communique released by churches meeting in Panama City. The World Council of Churches (WCC) convened the consultation from 26 to 28 August with five partner communions: World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC), The Lutheran World Federation, World Methodist Council, Council for World Mission and USPG. Together they work within NIFEA, the churches' campaign for a New International Financial and Economic Architecture.

The communique is written in three parts: what the churches see, what they affirm, and what they commit to do.

What they see is stated plainly. "The economy we inherit was designed to extract, and it does so with precision, producing profits for the already-powerful and losses for the already-vulnerable."

What they commit to is just as plain. Churches are asked to move their own money out of the war economy first, into renewable energy, local currencies, community banks, and debt-for-social-investment swaps. Governments are asked to stop financing weapons and wars, and to end embargoes as a weapon of war.

The document closes on a single line. "Neutrality, in the face of these realities, is not an option."
