Promoción de la dignidad humana a través del arte

“Afirmar la justicia y la dignidad humana” fue el tema de la cuarta sesión plenaria temática de la 11ª asamblea del Consejo Mundial de Iglesias (CMI), celebrada el 6 de septiembre. La presentación contó con un espectáculo de danza en silla de ruedas a cargo de Fadi El Halabi, un usuario de silla de ruedas, y de Karen Abi Nader, una artista internacional. En el baile de estilo libre, Halabi giró con facilidad con su silla de ruedas y, con movimientos lentos y coordinados junto con su compañera de baile, lanzó las manos al aire simbolizando la alegría que solo se puede sentir cuando se abordan todas las prácticas excluyentes y desempoderadoras en la iglesia y la sociedad.
