I had a meaningful meeting in Washington with a group of influential pastors—spiritual leaders who shape the attitudes of millions of believers in the US and other countries.
We discussed the war, the terrible Russian invasion that Ukraine is experiencing. We discussed the pain that tens of thousands of Ukrainian citizens experience every day, and the enormous responsibility of religious leaders, who must not remain silent when evil continues to act with impunity.
I also shared the example of Pastor Mark Burns, who, after seeing the consequences of Russian aggression with his own eyes, became a friend of Ukraine!
I am convinced that this is only the beginning of a great common cause—the struggle for justice and the victory of light over evil!
