World evangelicals back new religious forum

Henry Ndukuba

The World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) is co-sponsoring a new international platform for religious leaders.

Ahead of the G20 intergovernmental forum in Indonesia from 15–16 November, a coalition of the world’s major religions will gather in Bali from 2–3 November. Known as the ‘R20’, the group’s aim is to give a unique global platform through which religious leaders from every faith and nation can express their concerns and voice shared moral and spiritual values.

The Nadhlatul Ulama (NU), the world’s largest Muslim organisation with an estimated 120 million followers, will host the event. Unlike many Muslim organisations and institutions across the Muslim world, NU is completely independent of any government control: a purely autonomous religious civil society organisation.
