UK Religious Leaders in G8 Plea

June 29th, 2005 · No Comments · Make Poverty History

Leaders from the Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths have urged Tony Blair to play “the fullest part” in helping the world’s poorest countries.
The prime minister must use the UK’s G8 presidency to help “halve extreme poverty”, they say in a letter.

The G8 leaders must cancel the debt of the poorest nations, they add.

The letter is from by the Archbishops of Canterbury and Westminster, the Chief Rabbi, the Council of Mosques and Imams chair and the Free Churches head.

Now that’s what I call ecumenicalism in action. There’s actually hope they’ll succeed, too.
