Brazilian Leonardo Boff, theoretician of Liberation Theology, is one of 43 theologians, philosophers, and religious scholars…who have signed an open letter in support of the Baha’i community… For Boff, the repression of the Baha 'i Faith is due to its universality: "It's the most ecumenical religion of the world. It's not important what name you use for God - He is the supreme principle governing all things. Christians, Jews or Muslims can support this issue, without betraying their own religions. It is a religion of modern times" he says.
