From The Living Church (includes video)
The Archbishop of Canterbury used his New Year message to commend the Millennium Development Goals as a continuing focus for relieving the suffering of people across the world.
“The truth is that there are fewer and fewer problems in our world that are just local. Suffering and risk spread across boundaries, even that biggest of all boundaries between the rich and the poor,” Archbishop Rowan Williams said in the video, which depicts him taking a brief stroll along the banks of the Thames River.
“If we look back, quite a bit has been achieved,” the archbishop said. “There is hope but so much remains to be done: each year, nine million children still die before reaching their fifth birthday — from avoidable disease, from violence and undernourishment.”
