Inter-faith approach recommended for Trinidad's 'rainbow' profile
29 October 2007

Port of Spain (ENI). A church leader in Trinidad and Tobago has urged Christian denominations in his country to embrace the nation's "rainbow of religions" and to develop an inter-faith theology to respond to the reality of a religiously plural society.

"Our plural society is a blessing which if embraced brings the opportunity for solidarity, the position from which many social issues can be addressed," said the Rev. Elvis Elahie, moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Trinidad and Tobago.

Elahie was addressing leaders of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches on 24 October at his San Fernando denominational headquarters in southern Trinidad. The Presbyterian church is hosting the 18-28 meeting of the WARC executive committee. läs mer www.eni.ch/featured/print.php?id=1331
