The leaders of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) have called for a new era of partnership on justice issues in their first meeting with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican on Saturday.
President of WARC, Clifton Kirkpatrick, led the team of five WARC leaders, including WARC general secretary, Setri Nyomi, and WARC’s executive secretary for theology and ecumenical engagement, Odair Pedroso Mateus, in their visit to the Vatican. “We are eager during our visit here at the Vatican to pursue with you how Catholic and Reformed Christians might be partners together for God’s justice in a world wracked by poverty, war, ecological destruction and the denial of human freedom,” Kirkpatrick told the pontiff.
