The World Council of Churches’ Central Committee has recently made some calls for action on some of the today’s world’s greatest injustices. Which is great, I think. Sort of.
I mean, what are they really going to do about any of it? People have been talking about Darfur for years and really, who doesn’t know about the atrocities committed there? Still, nothing’s been done. Does anybody actually pay attention to the World Council of Churches anyway?
I just heard about it last week.
I think it’s important that we don’t stand by and watch atrocities be committed without at least saying something. But isn’t this just adding to the noise without actually taking action or adding real value to the discussion? Not that the World Council of Churches could actually do anything but talk.
Anyway, I’m not sure what else to say about it. You can read about the commitee’s declarations here. What do you think?
