“God uses a number of instruments to reach and transform the world, including and especially the church,” said Rev Pillay. “Christians need to stand up for justice and we need to stand together. In unity is our strength. 

“Together we can live and fulfil God’s vision for the world. Together! Christian unity matters.”
