“It’s important to discuss what it means to be a society open to different lifestances and make room for both religious minorities and majorities”, said Minister Toppe at the meeting.

The theme of the day was “Churches as Community Builders”. BCC Norway’s board chairwoman Berit Hustad Nilsen took part.

“It was particularly interesting to experience the good, open tone of the meeting, both among the leaders, and between the leaders and Minister Toppe. Her praise of the efforts of churches during the corona pandemic was right; a great many children and young people have been cared for via the faith communities over a difficult time”, said Hustad Nilsen.
