Juan Carlos Núñez delivers keynote at Ecumenical Theological Week

Juan Carlos Núñez, executive director of the Fundación Jubileo, delivered the keynote address to open the 2026 Ecumenical Theological Week in La Paz. The event, themed "Sowers of Peace: From the Word of Life to Social Transformation," runs from October 20 to 23 at the Juan Pablo II building of Pastoral Social Caritas Boliviana.

During his presentation, "Justice, Equity and Social Peace: Pillars of the Common Good," Núñez addressed international and national challenges. He warned that a shift toward a new world order is allowing military and economic power to replace international law, which threatens smaller nations.

Regarding the situation in Bolivia, Núñez noted that the country faces an economic recession, high food inflation, and a labor informality rate exceeding 80%. He argued that the common good must serve as a shared goal to prioritize social cohesion and human dignity rather than just a collection of individual interests.
