SANT’EGIDIO: INTER-RELIGIOUS MEETING. THE FINAL APPEAL, A BLASPHEME "USING GOD’S NAME TO WAGE WAR" (2)” “” “

” ” ” “Convinced that there is no "alternative to the unity of the human family", we commit ourselves "to pursuing and showing to our coreligionists the art of living together", go on the participants in the Meeting. "We need brave builders in all cultures, in all religious traditions. We need the globalisation of the spirit, which makes us see what can no longer be seen, the beauty of life and of others, in any circumstance, even the hardest ones". "Our religious traditions teach us that prayer is a historical force that moves peoples and nations. Let’s put this ancient wisdom humbly at the service of all peoples, of all men and women, to open up a new season of freedom from fear and from mutual contempt". "It is the spirit of Assisi – conclude the participants in the Meeting – which here, in Naples, strongly and bravely opposes to the spirit of violence and to any abuse of religion as an excuse for violence".” “
