Rome (NEV), 18 September 2018 – The American Waldensian Society (AWS) takes up the “Welcome Manifesto: this is a church which welcomes” approved by the Council of the Federation of Protestant Churches in Italy (FCEI) and already adopted in several churches, not only Protestant ones.
“Every form of racism is a theological heresy” says the document, accepted and shared in the United States by AWS who, in commenting on the spirit with which the manifesto was born, compares it to the Barmen Declaration which the confessing churches of Germany adopted in 1934 in opposition to the Nazis.
For those in and around Rome, it is possible to collect, at the FCEI offices – Via Firenze, 38 -, a paper copy of the Manifesto, to be posted up at the doors or on the bulletin boards of their churches.
