Righteousness is a demand of God. It can be received only through faith in God. Church should organize delegations to different ecumenical conferences throughout the world and actively participate in the global inter-religious dialogues.
The diversity of religious expressions is guaranteed by the separation of church and state. However, church and state should interact in different social and political fields for the benefit of the whole society.
