Focolars, Christian witnesses of unity and dialogue

Beatrice Garra – Vatican City

In the era of international divisions and challenges, Christians are called to testify in the hope of the Bible and to be the builders of dialogue and unity. This is the goal of the Ecumenical Conference entitled “Call for Hope, the Dialogue Champions” (called Hope – the main players in the dialogue) to be held from March 26 to 29, 2025 at the MariaApoli Center at Castel Gandolfo. In this event – which was promoted by the first place, the International Secretariat of the Christian Unit in the Bocolic Movement – more than 250 believers from 20 Christian churches from more than 40 countries from 4 continents, will participate, including the Philippines, Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Ireland, Venezuela and the United States. To allow increased post, meetings will be broadcast by flow and will be translated into 15 languages.

Mixed differencesin

Congress topics reflect the sub -title of the “Heroes of the Dialogue” event because they are pretending to be strictly “by involving the participants who want and can be in building the dialogue,” as Sandra Ferrera Ribeiro explains, from the center. Dialogue: A word today seems “almost impossible for all views” and this is why the conference wants, instead, the experience of “our enrichment differences.” “We want to highlight,” Ferrera Ribeiro continues, “the many initiatives that already exist throughout the people of the people and institutions that believe in the possibility of dialogue.” After that, there will be moments of thinking about issues such as “receptive ecumenism”, that is, the possibility that each church will learn from others. “We will also perform Hajj for three ancient churches in Rome, which will be concluded in the outer San Pablo. They are churches that bear witness to the time when Christians unite and remind us a lot of what the Holy Father Francisco today calls “ecumenical from martyrdom.” In many countries, Christians do not die because they are Catholics, Orthodoxy, Lutheron, but simply because they are Christians.

The union’s urgencyD

“How can we go to the world that Christ is our hope, if we do not live, we do not live,” how can we go to the world because Christ is our hope, if we do not test, we do not live, we are not convinced of it? “It also allows us to be“ more effective at work for peace and the environmental issue, today is very urgent. ”In 2025 it is a special year for the environment, thanks to three annual anniversary, which will be held in various quotes from the program: within the framework of the year of the jubilee, the 1700th anniversary of the Public Prosecution Council will be kept, and the mutual anniversary between the disgrace of the Mustafa Rome, the Church of Rome and the Church of Rome.

The churches listen to the soul Santo

The organization’s organization is also “ecumenical”, because a team of Christians is one of the different rituals that constitute one center, which was also assigned part of Digkima: “We Catholican, Loturian and Orthodoxy Syrians – and explain – because we are already working together in the dialogue between these different churches.”

From the beginning, the theory becomes a life, with certainty of maintaining an “open” approach, where the relationship between the synod and ecumenical is clear. “This is among the churches, it is a process, we must listen to each other, to enrich each other, each of the Holy Spirit and listen to the Holy Spirit in the other,” says Digkima. This is why helping representatives of the various Christian confessions are expected, as well as Andrea Palmei, the undersecretary of the Ministry of Defense for Decimio to strengthen the unity of Christians, Derio Olvro, Chairman of the Ecructural Committee for Ecology and the Dialogue of the Italian Episcopal Conference, and Martin Elit, at the World Council of the Church (CMI CMI). Margaret Karam and Yusus Moran, president and coach of the volcanic movement will also be present.
