Description
Summary:The Ecumenical Water Network (EWN) is a network of churches and Christian organizations promoting people's access to water around the world. There are many actors on advocacy for water justice; the EWN was formed to make a Christian witness be heard in the present debate on water issues. This article reflects on the meaning of spirituality for the EWN as an organization and on the relationship the EWN has with other actors in the field of water justice. This reflection is intended to ponder the questions which the EWN places at the core of its mission: "why we do, what we do?" Answering these questions contributes to theories and practices on mission and diversity and provides a stimulus to the manner in which organizations for mission and water justice deal with diversity. The perspectives derive from theology, mission studies, management sciences, and social anthropology.
