The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland for 2020-21, the Very Rev Dr Martin Fair, was among 145 global faith leaders uniting to call for the steps necessary to produce and distribute enough Covid-19 vaccine for the entire global population.
April’s statement, signed by representatives of Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches as well as Jewish, Muslim and other faith leaders, calls on leaders around the world to reject ‘vaccine nationalism’ and take steps to make sure that low and middle-income countries are not left behind while richer countries press on with their vaccination programmes.
