On the Frontlines of Compassion 🕊

Green Cross Sweden (GCS) wishes to thank Deacon Em Jakobsson, of St. Johannes Church, Göteborgs Stadsmission, for an inspiring meeting!

​There are those few extraordinary, impassioned souls who are simply the "doers"—individuals who, without seeking recognition, provide hands-on support to those who need it most. As a Deacon on the front lines, Deacon Em works tirelessly to create real change.

​St. Johanneskyrkan is the heart of the City Mission’s work in our city—a sanctuary where sustainability meets social care, from reducing food waste to providing vital support for our fellow human beings. GCS and the City Mission look forward to collaborating on upcoming events to support people experiencing homelessness. We are grateful for the meeting and the inspiration!

A Message for PEACE, Unity, Hope & Compassion ☮️🕊

Roger Pontare, the renowned Swedish singer and Green Cross Ambassador, sends his heartfelt regards.

Through his song "En sång för en miljoner röster" (“A Song for a Million Voices”), he reminds us that another world is possible—one where we come together in PEACE, stand up for social justice, and strive for harmony for all humanity.

In a time often marked by division and uncertainty, his message calls on each of us to listen more deeply, care more openly, and act with compassion.

It reminds us that every voice matters—and that together, a million voices can become a force for understanding, healing, and change.

Let a movement for PEACE sweep across the world. Let our everyday actions—kindness, respect, and courage—build a future rooted in unity, hope, and shared responsibility for one another and our world.

MESSAGE

I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.

Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.

An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.

I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.
