An international group of women theologians has called on churches to address structures of power that fail to respect human dignity. –
Christian Today reports The women made the call in a statement issued following the
conclusion of the Feminist Discourse on Economy, Ecology and Empire
held in Bangalore, India, last week by the World Alliance of Reformed
Churches (WARC) and World Council of Churches (WCC).
“We call upon churches to live in the world in ways that engage the
powers, systems and structures that deny human dignity and scorch the
earth, denying justice to God’s people and the created order,” the
statement read.
