[Sustain-dev] Essay on integral human development

[Luis Gutierrez]

I want to say "thank you" for all the responses received to the survey
on education for sustainable development (ESD).

Based on these surveys and other sources of evidence, the emerging
consensus is that the exclusion of women from roles of religious
authority is an obstacle to the integral human development of both men
and women. Consider this review of all the evidence:

In brief, this article includes:

     * Section 1, a brief progress report on the ESD surveys.
     * Section 2, clarification of sustainable development terminology.
     * Section 3, an essay on integral human development.
     * Section 4, an overview of sustainable development indicators
     * Section 5, an essay on religious traditions and human development.
     * Section 6, a review of survey-based evidence.
     * Section 7, a review of recent scholarly research.
     * Section 8, a review of some real life examples.
     * Section 9, suggestions for prayer, study, and action.

I look forward to continue this research and would be grateful to
receive additional feedback.

Sincerely,
Luis
