Isinulong ni San Carlos Bishop Gerardo Alminaza at United Church of Christ in the Philippines Bishop Joseph Agpaoa ang pagtutulungan ng bawat isang bumubuo ng simbahan, mga Pilipino at iba pa upang maging modern day good Samaritan.
Inihayag ni Bishop Alminaza na makakamit ang tunay na katarungang panlipunan sa pagkakaisa ng mga simbahan at mamamayan.
Magkatuwang si Bishop Alminaza at Bishop Agpaoa sa paglulunsad ng programang “PAGTATANIM”: Planting seed of peace and justice” sa pangangasiwa ng One Faith One Nation, One Voice.
Sinabi ng Obispo na laganap sa bansa ang ibat-ibang suliranin na sinisiil ang karapatan ng mga Pilipino, sinisira ang kalikasan, nagdudulot ng di pagkaka-unawaan o digmaan at nagdudulot ng pangamba o pagklito sa puso ng mga Pilipino.
“You are the anchors, the prayerfully present, and the activists who create waves and instigate ‘good-trouble’ towards social transformation. You accompany those who seek justice and accountability. You are the peacebuilders and human rights defenders. You have chosen to stand with our kababayan at the margins,” ayon sa mensahe ni Bishop Alminaza sa PAGTATANIM Event.
Iginiit naman ni Bishop Agpaoa ang kahalagahan ng paghahari ng konsensya sa puso at isip ng bawat isa upang epektibong maisulong ang pagtutulungan at magsilbing mabubuting samaritano.
“The road from Jerusalem to Jericho vividly pictures to us the kind of road we have been following as a Filipino nation. Like the road from Jerusalem to Jericho, the road that we are following has been a notoriously dangerous road. The recent war on drugs of the recent administration, the continued and systematic control of our nation’s wealth and resources by the few and powerful individuals; the continuing dynasty in our political system, the unhampered destruction of the environment in the name of development, the abuses being done against the rights and peace advocates, the uncontrollable and unstoppable proliferation of fake news, among others, would tell us that our road is like the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. There have been a lot of victims along the way,” bahagi naman ng Mensahe ni Bishop Agpaoa.
Binigyan diin ng pinuno ng UCCP na napapanahon na ang pagkakaisa upang matigil na ang kawalang katarungang nagaganap sa bansa.
