As the world mourns the passing of former United Nations Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) offers his thoughts on the former leader’s recent passing.
In a statement released today, the Reverend Dr. J. Herbert Nelson, II described Pérez de Cuéllar as a “man of peace” who brokered numerous peace agreements and helped bring the U.S. and Soviet Union together to discuss their differences. Citing the former leader’s example, Nelson said people of faith must face political polarization in the U.S. and speak out for those who can’t speak for themselves.
