“Coexistence is a divine mandate”

World Council of Churches (WCC) acting general secretary Rev. Prof. Dr Ioan Sauca delivered a lecture during the first edition of the “Bahrain Dialogue Forum: East and West for Human Coexistence” held on 3-4 November.

“Our diversity and our differences are an invitation from God for us to come together, to know, respect and love one another and live together in harmony,” he said. “Coexistence is therefore a divine mandate, not only a human experience.” Said Rev Prof Dr Sauca

'The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges of today’s world have shown that more than ever our world is in desperate need of reconciliation and unity. "

Ref Prof Dr Sauca cited the some of the challenges as; Climate Justice, Racial justice, War in Ukraine and Justice and Peace in the Middle East. 

"We are all one human fraternity celebrating the life and the creation given to us by God. Let us be worthy of this gift and move together towards a future of integrity, dignity and prosperity for all."
