-Vatican and Muslims Plan Historic Meeting
by Dr. D ~ January 4th, 2008
An historic meeting is in the works for the spring time between representatives of Pope Benedict and the 138 Muslim leaders who sent him and the Christian world an open letter in October. Benedict proposed the meeting in response to the letter which urged Christians to work together for a better world.
On the agenda for the conference are three major topics for suggested dialogue:
1. Respect for the dignity of each person
2. Interreligious dialogue based on reciprocal understanding
3. Instruction of tolerance among the young.
Response: Great news for 2008. Hopefully the Pope will also invite other Christians to participate, including Orthodox and Protestant leaders. *Top
