Se necesita un cambio para abordar el racismo sentando a todos alrededor de la mesa, dice la moderadora del CMI

El racismo y la discriminación son pecados, dice la Dra. Agnes Abuom. Sin embargo, en la tercera década del siglo XXI, el mundo debe cambiar la forma en que los aborda, incluso sentando a todos los actores alrededor de la mesa para resolverlos. De esa manera, pueden ayudar a rescatar a la humanidad y salvar la creación de Dios, pero esto implica hablar con los perpetradores.

Il faut changer les choses pour lutter contre le racisme en asseyant tout le monde à la table, déclare la modératrice du COE

Le racisme et la discrimination sont des péchés, déclare Agnes Abuom. Pourtant, en cette troisième décennie du XXIe siècle, le monde doit changer sa façon de les aborder, notamment en réunissant tout le monde autour de la table pour les résoudre. De cette façon nous pouvons contribuer à sauver l'humanité et la création de Dieu, mais cela implique de s'engager auprès des auteurs de ces crimes.

Programme to Combat Racism began during apartheid, but xenophobia fight still churches’ focus

When the World Council of Churches (WCC) launched the Programme to Combat Racism after years of in-depth theological reflections and prayer in 1971, South Africa's insidious racist apartheid policies were in full throw. The programme brought the WCC into the world's spotlight. Yet racism did not start 50 years ago. And it did not end with the casting out of apartheid at the end of the 20th century. During that era, figures such as Nobel Peace Prize laureates Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela fought racism in society and the church.
