| Inter-Religious Meeting to Promote World Peace |
| VATICAN (CWNews.com) -- "Everyone must work
together to build up the peace," said Cardinal
Francis Arinze, as he announced that a major inter-
religious assembly will be held at the Vatican in
October. Cardinal Arinze, the president of the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue, told a Vatican Radio audience that about 200 people will be invited to take part in the assembly, which will be scheduled for October 24- 29. The participants will include Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and representatives of other faiths. The goal of the assembly will be the preparation of a common declaration in favor of world peace. The participants will make a pilgrimage to Assisi on October 27, and share a day of prayer-- each following the traditions of his own faith-- on October 28. Pope John Paul II will preside at the formal closing of the assembly on October 29. |
