ENI – Immigrants and minorities in affluent countries are becoming targets of exclusion as the global economic system faces strains, warned Rev. Setri Nyomi, a Presbyterian from Ghana and general secretary of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches, at a meeting on February 19.
Nyomi said churches need to find ways to “reconcile societies” and should not get caught up in social fragmentation.
“Rather than operate together as Christians to address the evils that lead to injustice and suffering for immigrants, for example, we begin to see one another in terms of right or left, conservative or liberal,” she said. “We live out these divisions while many are dying as a result of the global economic arrangements.”
