How We Work

The NCCA gathers together Churches and Christian communities which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures. We commit to deepen our relationship with each other and to work together towards the fulfilment of common witness, proclamation and service, to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Christians and Muslims: Extinguish the Fire of War and Light the Candle of Peace

“All religions, each in their own way, consider human life sacred and thus worthy of respect and protection. The states that permit and practise capital punishment are, fortunately, becoming fewer each year. A reawakened sense of the respect for this fundamental dignity of the gift of life will contribute to the conviction that war must be rejected and peace cherished.” Says Pope Francis.

“We look to the Almighty as God of peace, the source of peace, who in a special way loves all those who devote their lives to the service of peace.”

(From the Vatican, 11 March 2024)
