An inspiring message from Heather Roy, the Secretary General of Eurodiaconia, to our churches
“This is the opportunity to see how our understanding of social justice and social care needs to go to the heart of our economic and political thinking. We need a paradigm shift in our understanding of what makes societies and people flourish – not only economic well-being but social well-being – and they cannot be in competition with each other – they do not need to be in competition with each other – one can reinforce the other. Thank you to all of you who are working – as volunteers and as staff – at this time. You are showing why what Diaconia does is essential and why it needs to be at the heart of our development as a society. You are valued and you are essential.”
