Emilio Castro: A Legacy of Passionate Ecumenism

Carlos A. Sintado
Manuel Quintero Peréz

In Argentina, WCC general secretary affirms call for pilgrimage of justice and peace

“Join the pilgrimage of justice and peace! Stand up for the creation that is threatened, for justice and peace, so that people may gain hope so that life will flourish.

Teure Einheit

Dieser Text ist aus dem gemeinsam von Glauben und Kirchenverfassung und dem ÖRK-Team für Gerechtigkeit, Frieden und Schöpfung durchgeführten Studienprogramm zu Ekklesiologie und Ethik hervorgegangen. Er, und die beiden im gleichen Zusammenhang entstandenen Texte "Costly Commitment" und "Costly Obedience" (nur auf englisch verfügbar) sind das Ergebnis von Tagungen in Rønde/Dänemark, Jerusalem/Israel und Johannesburg/Südafrika und beschäftigen sich mit der Berufung der Kirchen, in der heutigen Welt eine Gemeinschaft zu sein, die über ethische Fragen nachdenkt - und ethisch handelt.
