Ecumenical Dinner – Keynote Address by Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, General Secretary, World Council of Churches

This is a meaningful sign of our Christian unity, and offers me an entry to what I want to say about being One. To be One is about life, to be together; it is about finding new ways forward together; and it is about contributing to real hope.
