Faith Organizations, the U.N., and the Sustainable Development Goals

Speaker(s): Azza Karam, Marin Achtelstetter, Rudelmar Bueno de Faria, Dean Pallant

Description: A panel discussion at the Religion Communicators Council convention. Moderator Dr. Azza Karam, coordinator of the UN inter-agency task force on religion and development, opened the session by asking: "What's faith got to do with it?" On the panel with her were the Rev. Dr. Karin Achtelstetter, general secretary of the World Association for Christian Communications; Lt. Colonel (Dr.) Dean Pallant, director of the Salvation Army's International Social Justice Commission; and Rudelmar Bueno de Faria, World Council of Churches representative to the U.N. and coordinator of the U.N. ecumenical office in New York. Panelists agreed that religious organization were involved in sustainable development long before the U.N. or some governments were capable of doing that. The U.N.'s recent interest in faith-based organizations partially stems from the realization that it can't do it alone. Increasingly, governments are less and less able to develop programs for people who are struggling.
