Public seminar At a time when lively discussions are taking place in our countries on how communities of different cultures can live together in harmony, the undersigned, supported by several of you, have decided to join forces to approach this problem from a new angle. On the theme “Pilgrimage, a path towards reconciliation”, we are organising a public seminar at which experts from the Christian and Muslim traditions will speak about their experiences and reflections. A debate will follow their presentations. The seminar will take place in Geneva Friday 17 April 2009 at 2.30 p.m. In the early evening, the same room will host a screening of the film Marche ensemble de Jérusalem à Compostelle, made by three “peace walkers”, Jewish, Christian and Muslim, between October 2003 and August 2005. Those of you who wish are invited to take part the following morning in a working session to give concrete form to the ideas developed during the seminar (conceptualising the project, creating a legal structure, funding, timetable, sharing of tasks, etc.).). They will be accommodated at our expense in a hotel near the venue. Hoping to have the pleasure of meeting you there, we send you our best regards |
