The Columban Missionaries [www.columbans.co.uk]  are a group of ordained and lay missionaries, who see ourselves being called to be a missionary presence in Britain, encouraging and listening to the local Church in its efforts to reach out beyond its boundaries for the sake of the Good News of Jesus Christ. They have a passion for justice, a desire for peace, a concern for creation, essential to the living out of the Gospel. They are not optional extras, but core components of Christian faith.
The Columbans in the British Region support this in particular through the work of the Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation (JPIC) team of Peter Hughes SSC (Coordinator) Ellen Teague (Media), James Trewby (Education) and David Madden (Administrator).
Columban missionaries work in solidarity with the poor and the exploited earth, for justice, peace and the integrity of creation. As members of a missionary organisation working in many parts of the world, they are in a key position to link the global and local dimensions of JPIC in Britain. In particular, they focus on the international Columban JPIC priorities of Migration, Environmental Justice, Economic Justice and Peace.
