Covenanting on a matter

of life and death

- -
	"We are celebrating here very kairos moments."

Refusing to remain silent in the face of the scandalous death of 24,000 people every day from poverty and malnutrition, the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) has covenanted to work for justice in the economy and the earth.

The Accra confession, which some have called historic, though it did not gain unanimous approval at the Alliance's 24th General Council, stated that working to create a more just economy is essential to the integrity of Christian faith.

"We believe that the integrity of our faith is at stake if we remain silent or refuse to act in the face of the current system of neoliberal economic globalization," states the confession, forged at the meeting in August at Accra, Ghana.
