SIBIU–EEA3: THE THIRD DAY OPENS ITS DOORS, WENNER (EVANGELICAL BISHOP), "PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY FOR JUSTICE” ” ” “

"Living like children of light" to "leave a mark and change the world". This is the core of the meditation that has been proposed this morning by the woman bishop of the Evangelical Methodist Church of Germany, Rosemarie Wenner, who opened in Sibiu the third day of the European Ecumenical Assembly. Today the delegates will deal with the subject "The light of Christ and the world", then in the afternoon the forums will enter into the details of three issues: protection of the Creation, justice and peace. "In our time, affected by profit and the pressure for performance – said bishop Wenner –, people are hungry for goodness". For the Churches, this realisation must have an impact on "effective action", because, "if we take the Bible seriously – said the Evangelical bishop –, God sides with those who have been deprived of what they need. God sides with the poor. God includes the outcasts in His community". "May God grant us to live today – concluded the bishop – like those who are enlightened by Christ, so that, as the children of light, we may bear fruits of goodness, justice and truth”.
