The governments of planet Earth are making an invitation to
churches and other civil society groups to advocate for the human rights of Indigenous
Peoples’ in a new six-page document that was voted on in September of 2014 which
is basically a reinforcement of the 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
Proverbs 31: 8-9 tells us: "Open your mouth for the dumb,
for the rights of all who are left desolate. Open your mouth, judge
righteously, maintain the rights of the poor and needy (Bible, Revised Standard
Version)."
I invite you to read more details on this UN document in
this article from the World Council of Churches that I am sharing. It is my
opinion that we are all children of God, and this is a great opportunity for
the Church to do what it is called to do in unity, but even more with the
encouragement of governments around the globe. The link to the article is
below. Blessings and I hope you enjoy reading!
