The Bishops and Clergy of the Dioceses of Colombo and Kurunagala of the Church of Ceylon meeting to confer together under the theme “Christ’s Love moves the World to Reconciliation and Unity” take serious note of the prevailing economic and socio-political crises affecting all Sri Lankans, especially the vulnerable, that has resulted in an unprecedented Peoples’ Movement that has launched a courageous and disciplined protest.
It is clear that there is a rejection of nepotistic family politics, corruption, and the attitude of impunity towards the burning issues that our people are forced to struggle with on a daily basis. We agree with the protesters that our elected leaders have failed the people of the nation.
