Video: Global Faith Leaders Coming to Ukraine 12 April 2022
A delegation of leaders from all faiths are on their way to Ukraine to deliver a message of hope and friendship to refugees.
In times of crisis, friendship and solidarity are offered. Elijah Interfaith Institute’s vision of “Friendship Across Religions” finds concrete expression in the solidarity mission of faith leaders, of all major faith traditions, to Ukraine. A high-level delegation of religious leaders will pay a historic visit to refugee camps and the city of Chernivtsi, Ukraine. Scroll down for a list of participants.
The leaders will visit the Chernivtsi region and surrounding encampments to demonstrate friendship, offer comfort, and share experiences of maintaining spiritual well-being under distressing circumstances.
As part of this visit, a public event will be held in the city’s main theater, where the faith leaders will address refugees and other citizens impacted by war. Their words will be accompanied by live musical interludes from faith institutions outside the Ukraine, testimonies from refugees, and interactions with audience members. This will be the first public event permitted at the theater since the war began.
We invite you to follow this unique pilgrimage of friendship, to be inspired by the testimony it offers and to become part of the journey. View our live stream. Religious Leaders: Affirm the Declaration of Friendship Across Religions. All supporters – lend your voice.
Details on how to view the event on April 12 will be available here in the coming days.
