- "In their second meeting [16 June 2014] within eighteen months Pope Francis and Archbishop Justin Welby have recommitted themselves absolutely to the struggle against modern slavery and human trafficking. Following their first meeting last year[14 June 2013] the two global leaders have continually spoken out to challenge this crime against humanity, and have acted decisively to support the foundation of the new faith-based Global Freedom Network. Pope Francis and Archbishop Justin also spoke about areas in conflict and how churches around the globe are called by Christ our reconciler, to act as peacemakers. They described their Christian passion for peacemaking in places torn apart by war, and pledged their ongoing commitment to act as agents of reconciliation".
