In this powerful episode of Walk Talk Listen, Rudelmar Bueno de Faria, General Secretary of ACT Alliance, a global coalition of over 137 faith-based organizations working across more than 125 countries is our guest. From Rudelmar his early days in southern Brazil to his influential roles at the World Council of Churches and now ACT Alliance, he shares his journey of faith, peacebuilding, and advocacy. He opens up about navigating political polarization, religious instrumentalization, and the deep challenges of today’s humanitarian sector—including the dangerous shift away from values like compassion, inclusion, and solidarity.
Rudelmar offers grounded reflections on hope, drawn from the courage of youth and the potential of interfaith collaboration. He calls for a renewed prophetic voice from faith communities and challenges us to rethink our models of leadership, development, and climate justice in a fragmented world. As we explore what gives him hope, his passion for dialogue and his belief in collective action shine through. A must-listen for anyone seeking clarity and courage in complex times.
