“As we recall the appearances of the resurrected Christ, we are confident that He is continuously with us—loving, forgiving, feeding, healing, and empowering us to becoming his visible signs of peace and reconciliation. As Christians, we carry this great calling with humbleness and responsibility, working for and encouraging a sustained dialogue for peace while building bridges of reconciliation between people and churches. It is our shared vocation to participate in the prophetic mission of Christ proclaiming the kingdom of God, which is made visible by the testimony of our lives and in our work for justice and reconciliation,” Pillay said. 

Christians “from a hundred different places” gathered in one space

Global Christian Forum secretary Rev. Dr Casely Essamuah rejoiced as he welcomed the diverse group of participants to Ghana, noting that “we come from a hundred different places, and we come here first to listen, so that we can discover Christ in one another, and one another in Christ.”
