Remembering Past Massacres: Honoring the legacy and resilience of the victims | EUROPE
The webinar is part of a series of regional webinars organized by the Commission of the Churches on International Affairs (CCIA) of the World Council of Churches (WCC) in collaboration with the WCC Spiritual Life.
It is part of the many virtual events organized this year to mark the 75th anniversary of the CCIA.
Realizing that several of these massacres have lost relevance over the years, or are simply forgotten, the purpose of these regional webinars is to reflect on how these fallen heroes and heroines are remembered and honoured today.
Moderator: Rev. Karin van den Broeke, WCC Executive Committee member
The following speakers will share country perspectives:
- Dr. Geraldine Smyth, Northern Ireland
- Rev. Assoc. Prof. Habil. Cristian Sonea, Roumania
- Eugenia Koukoura, Greece
- Rev. Prof. Dr Konrad Raiser, former WCC General Secretary, will also be on the panel, and will bring insights the role of healing of memories.
