reconciliation

Churches across the Korean Peninsula will mark the year 2020 as a 'jubilee year' and as they commemorate 70 years since since the Korean War, religious leaders are pledging to redouble  their ongoing efforts for stronger peace and reunification.

The leadership of the World Council of Churches (WCC) Central Committee met in Geneva on 10-11 September 2019 in preparation for the WCC 11th Assembly in 2021.

A UN human rights expert has welcomed reconciliation initiatives launched in central Mali by traditional and religious leaders, civil society members and the local authorities.

It ended 100 years ago, and on 11 November, church leaders will remember World War 1, praying and calling for reconciliation, despite a century passing since one of humanity’s most brutal conflicts.
