MEETINGS AND CONVENTIONS

MAY 2016 MEETING

Monastery of Sargiano (Arezzo, Italy)

No country can now feel safe and declare themselves indifferent to the serious issues of planetary significance, such as religious conflicts and the global economic crisis, which exacerbate the suffering of the poorest countries: two factors underlying the mass migrations, which have taken on a momentous dimension in the nations bordering the Mediterranean.

During this Conference, several members of the World Interreligious Center, from various countries in the world, expressed their views concerning three serious problems that afflict our planet and their possible resolution:

• The conflicts which destabilize and upset the Middle East and North Africa
• The mass emigration, from Africa and the Middle East, which creates serious issues of hospitality in Europe
• Humanity facing the severe global economic crisis

The World Interreligious Center subsequently sent the Conclusions of its Conference to the major economic, political and religious leaders, so they may always put the common good of the planet on which we live before personal and group interests.
