Elder Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke to global faith leaders gathered in Japan Saturday about seven ways religions can address sustainable development goals that can achieve peace and help people thrive and care for the planet. Elder Gong was joined at the sixth annual G20 Interfaith Forum by his wife, Susan, and Sister Sharon Eubank (who participated on a Sunday panel) of the Church’s Relief Society General Presidency.
A key purpose of the forum was to prepare recommendations for the larger G20 Summit to be held next month in Osaka. Specific areas of concern during the two-day conference were refugees, cross-cultural tensions, health, children, aging societies and the care of the earth.
