” “"Intercultural and inter-religious dialogue, that will be a priority during my term as president of the European parliament, is an important contribution to the future of Europe. Mutual understanding, tolerance and trust are the factors on which we can build a future of peace". This was stated by the president of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Poettering, at the end of today’s meeting in Brussels with frère Alois, prior of the Ecumenical community of Taizé, who has been invited to the Belgian capital by Comece (Commission of the EU Bishops Conferences) for a day of prayer and reflection of the path of Europe. "The experience of Taizé went on Poettering is a good example of the way intercultural and inter-religious dialogue can factually work. The young who meet in Taizé every year in search of a common spiritual path he concluded are a good example for all of us". ” “
