WE ARE HERE TO HELP!
Our mission echoes the „ethos” of the organisation: „summoning the churches and the civil society for a common response to social problems in Romanian society”. Lead by our mission statement, our objectives are built towards the Inter-Christian and inter-religious Commission, conferences and consultations, ecumenical prayers, lay and ecumenical youth formation.
By our GOAL, we promote the social inclusion of marginalized people, we empower the social reintegration of high-risk persons, equal opportunities, and the fight against human trafficking, and discrimination. We offer assistance to refugees and migrants seeking integration in Romania and we have an emergency response in case of disasters. We strengthen ecumenical and inter-ethnic cooperation for peace and stability in order to alleviate segregation in multi-ethnic communities and ensure respect for human rights.
We are here to help, being guided by our compass that has a strong foundation: our VALUES. We believe in, diversity, inclusion, rights, empowering, and dignity for all.
“Churches, in mutual respect, acting together in Christian faith for social justice, human dignity and integrity of creation.”
