“We are all responsible for restoring our communities and safeguarding God’s creation. And we are all responsible – whether directly or indirectly, through participation or indifference – for the violence inflicted on our brothers and sisters, but also for the rape of the natural environment in every part of the world. Indeed, we are also responsible for the effects of aggression and violence on human life and climate change, on poverty and inequality, but also on food shortages and energy renewal. Because all of us are inseparable and inextricably linked and interdependent. This is a lesson we have learned painfully in the last three years with the new coronavirus and in the last year with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.”
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew
