The cost of gold (80.65 kB)

Group reflection containing prayers, readings, and questions for discussion. Gold sparkles with promise and allure, conveying nothing of the human cost involved in its production. All too often, the needs and rights of communities living in proximity to a mine are ignored and mineworkers are exploited, enduring hazardous conditions for little reward. Now is the time to call the gold industry to account and to unearth justice

Poor communities should benefit from the wealth that they are surrounded by, rather than being damaged by extractive industries [Richard Wainwright]
