ARLINGTON, Va. – U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon highlighted the common social concerns of the United Nations and the evangelical community as he informed leaders Thursday of the progress toward the Millennium Development Goals.
United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon addresses a group of evangelical leaders as part of the Global Leaders Forum in Arlington, Virginia on Oct. 11, 2007….
Ban was the first U.N. secretary general to speak at a National Association of Evangelicals summit.
Yet NAE’s president, Leith Anderson, was quick to emphasize that the focus of the two-day gathering, which ends Friday, is not on the high-profile U.N. speaker but rather on the teaching of the Gospel.
“We are not here for the secretary-general,” stated Anderson ahead of the dinner speech. “We are here for the people who are poor, hurting and marginalize. He (Ban) is here to give us insight so we can help those people.” Click here to read the rest of this news story.
