The fish, the candle, and the rosary — all are powerful symbols of the Christian faith. But what can they tell us about humanitarian work? In this episode, we explore what it really means to be a faith based ngo. To do so, we’ve brought together five leaders — from different countries, backgrounds, and faith traditions — who share the responsibility of leading some of the world’s major faith-based aid organisations. On a busy Wednesday in Copenhagen, we gathered all five in one studio to talk about the values — and the challenges — of being a faith based organisation.
