The World Social Forum offers churches and social movements the opportunity to forge common cause to change global economic and financial policies, say religious representatives attending the gathering in Belem, northeastern Brazil, reports Ecumenical News International. "I think we need these kind of meetings to know that we are strong, to know that we are not only splinter groups within society, but that we have the power to change policies," said Wilfried Steen of the German (Protestant) Church Development Service (EED). Steen was speaking to Ecumenical News International on the first day of the six-day event that is billed as a counter to the World Economic Forum, a gathering of politicians and business leaders taking place at the same time in the Swiss mountain resort of Davos.
