From the publication:
NOTE: The theme of this issue of Anticipation reflects the growing awareness of world energy as a social and ethical problem. Ecumenical interest in the nuclear power debate has intensified interest in the wider energy question. The papers and essays in this issue represent the many different aspects of the problem which require attention in the churches. - The opening paper on "Energy for a Just and Sustainable Society" was prepared at the May meeting of the core members of the new Working Group on Church and Society at Glion, Switzerland, May 15-20, 1976. A group of energy consultants was also present and helped provide the necessary technical information on energy policy. This group also prepared the Draft Plan and Manifesto for the proposed action programme on "Energy for my Neighbour" as a practical way to involve the churches in the search for a more just distribution of world energy resources. - The papers on "The Nuclear Energy Debate in the Churches" and the Abstract of a paper on "Public Acceptance of Nuclear Power" reflect the continuing ecumenical discussion of the expanding use of nuclear power. The first is a survey of responses to the Report of the Ecumenical Hearing on Nuclear Power, Sigtuna, Sweden (June 1975), which appeared in Anticipation No. 22. -The recently published 237-page report of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution (U.K.) on Nuclear Power and the Environment will be widely studied for its views on nuclear energy. Sir Brian Flowers who chaired the Commission is a distinguished physicist and rector of Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. The final chapter of the report, "Nuclear Power and Public Policy", is reproduced here for the benefit of readers who may not have access to the entire volume.
