Needed: a more responsible, secure and democratic world

World Council of Churches (WCC) general secretary Rev. Dr Konrad Raiser has
given his "unreserved support" to a message from local Swiss and French
church leaders to the G8 presidents and prime ministers meeting in Evian,
France from 1-3 May 2003. The WCC  message of support expressed hope that the
summit would recognize the need to build "a world that is genuinely more
responsible and more in solidarity, more secure and more democratic".
