Church Leaders Attend G20 Interfaith Forum

Speaking to world leaders gathered at the G20 Interfaith Forum in Brasília on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, Elder Ulisses Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles emphasized the unique power of faith to bring people together, break down barriers and promote peace.

The Brazil native drew on a metaphor from a New York Times writer. Mangroves filter toxins and provide stability in nature around tropical coastlines. In a similar way, faith communities can serve as society’s moral filters and stabilizers.

We talked about fixing problems. We collaborated to do something about it. We reported back the next year. And repeat.

Yes. This. Even if I weren't religious. For this is true religion, to act with love and charity towards one's neighbor (including themself), as an act of devotion to God.

From what I have heard from Faith Leaders that they have come together to share truths that help God's children to come to Christ and follow His examples.
