Reformed Churches Told to Speak out on Economic Injustice

The head of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches has urged its member churches around the world to break their silence on economic and ecological injustice.

WARC General Secretary, Setri Nyomi, was speaking at the Synod of the United Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands on 7 May when he told them to turn around economic injustice by changing their own lives.

"Two hundred years ago churches were silent about the slave trade. If we remain silent now, we are failing God," he said.
