words and deeds, as a kingdom in which the relationship between human beings
and nature is healed and reconciled.

the common tasks that churches have to under that churches have to
undertake to reach this goal, they urged them to constantly work together and
with different groups in the society in order to develop a family of God that
would together build the earth as the household of God which is the house for
all. (cf. Eph. 2:19-22). Reminding them that church mission is based on love
they stressed the importance of preaching the gospel of justice, peace,
