The G20 Interfaith Forum

In his greeting at the G20 Interfaith Forum, which was was held in Bologna, Italy from 12-14 September, Pope Francis told participants that “true religiosity consists in adoring God and loving one’s neighbour… We are called to show the paternal presence of the God of Heaven through our harmony on earth.”

The forum provides its commitment to the process of building peace between adherents of different faiths. As we acknowledged the 20 year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks this week, Pope Francis stated at the forum that “the capacity to fight evil does not lie in proclamations, but in prayer; not in revenge, but in concord; not in shortcuts dictated by the use of force, but in the patient and constructive force of solidarity. Because only this is truly worthy of man. And because God is not the God of war, but of peace.”

We pray that we will be examples of solidarity in our daily lives.
