לאחר כמעט אלפיים שנות עוינות וניכור הדדיים, אנו החתומים מטה – רבנים אורתודוכסיים המנהיגים קהילות בהווה ובעבר, ישיבות ומוסדות בישראל, בארצות-הברית ובאירופה – מכירים בהזדמנות היסטורית הניצבת בפנינו. אנו מבקשים לעשות רצון אבינו שבשמיים ולקבל את היד המושטת לנו על-ידי אחינו ואחיותינו הנוצרים. עלינו כיהודים ונוצרים לעבוד יחד כשותפים על-מנת לעמוד מול האתגרים המוסריים של ימינו.
