The Archbishop of the Church of Sweden, Martin Modéus, recently completed a significant trip to Guatemala, where he visited Act Church of Sweden’s partners. During his stay in the country, he was warmly welcomed by many people, but he also saw the vulnerability and challenges that characterize the daily lives of many. The trip gave him an insight into how Act Church of Sweden works to enable more people to live a dignified life.
Act Church of Sweden runs several projects that aim to promote gender equality, ensure livelihoods, offer humanitarian support and promote peace and democracy.
‘No matter where in the world we live, we are part of the worldwide Church. We share fellowship, words, prayer and action. I feel proud of the work we do as a church’, says Martin Modéus.
