THE GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF
CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM DIALOGUE VISITS ANTELIAS
His Holiness Aram I received the General Secretary of the World Council of
Islam-Christian Cooperation, Dr. Youssef Farran in Antelias on April 12.
The Pontiff and his guest discussed the efforts carried out in
Christian-Muslim dialogue in a number of Middle Eastern and Western
countries. His Holiness shared with his guest some information about the
Christian-Muslim and other inter-religious international conferences held in
Antelias and elsewhere.
Dr. Farran, in his turn, spoke about the current status of
Christian-Muslim dialogue, informing His Holiness about a number of upcoming
projects. His Holiness commended the common commitment to overcome the
challenges of contemporary times through cooperation between religions. "Our
differences separate us from each other. However, our similarities, which
are more than our differences, bring us closer to one another and drive us
towards joint efforts and work," he said.
