The Secretary General of the World Council of Churches spoke
to Vatican News about the aims of a just-ended conference on racism and
xenophobia within the global political context.
The Secretary General of the World Council of
Churches (WCC), Rev. Olav Fykse Tveit, reaffirms the duty
religious leaders across the spectrum have to work together to defend a current
“attack against human rights laws and principles that were established 70 years
ago to protect all of us.”
Speaking to Linda Bordoni of a joint
Vatican and WCC conference entitled "Xenophobia, Racism and Populist
Nationalism in the Context of Global Migration", Tveit says
there is the “need to support those politicians who are saying: ‘no, these are
our common standards, these are our common values and we are willing to fight
for them’.
