There is no such thing as a comfortable pew for Reformed Christians who want to answer God's call to bear witness that a world of justice is possible.

That was the message delivered to the 163rd convocation of Knox College at the University of Toronto on 9 May by Patricia Sheerattan-Bisnauth, Executive Secretary of the Office for Church Renewal, Justice and Partnership of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches.

"No longer can the church sit comfortably in chapels and cathedrals while people are engaged in a struggle for survival against heavy odds. The church needs to find its way to a greater connection with people and communities and in their search for meaning in life.
