“We reflect on the pressing issues that face our planet today,” said Pillay. “These challenges threaten the very ecosystems that sustain life.” In fact, Pillay noted, we are risking the wellbeing of present and future generations—yet faith-based groups can serve as beacons of hope. “It’s heartening to witness the proactive response of faith-based organizations around the world,” he said. “We are guided by principles of stewardship, compassion, and reverence for the natural world.” Pillay urged inspiring and mobilizing communities towards action. “We can leverage our moral authority and our vast networks to advocate for restoration and resilience,” he said. “Through the teachings, rituals, and community engagement, we can instill a profound sense of interconnectedness with nature.” He reaffirmed the WCC’s commitment to the preservation and restoration of land. “Let us embrace a future where environmental stewardship is not just a duty but a shared moral imperative,” he said. “Let us pray and act in ways that preserve and protect our land and our future.” |
