 Christian – Moslem Dialogue in Toronto
By Mr. Bahlibi Tekle
On October 24th, 2010 Mr. Bahlibi Tekle represented our Chaplaincy and the Eritrean Community in Toronto, and attended a conference organized by the U.C.E.M.I, an association for Italian Migrants. The conference was at St. Jane Francis church Hall.
The main objective of the conference was to enhance the understanding and the coexistence of peoples with different religious backgrounds and specifically the Catholics and Moslems.
Dr. Giovanni Riccitelli, the president of UCEMI Toronto, opened the conference by emphasizing that a dialogue is always possible if there is an open faith with optimism and believe in God.
The speakers were Dr. Slimi, Emam at Khadija Mosque, Mr Genc Tirana from consulate of Albania, Mr. Bahlibi Tekle from Eritrean Catholic Geez Rite community, and Padre Amedeo Director of Chiesa 2000 news letter. More than 100 individuals participated and so many of their questions were answered. Mr. Andemariam Tesfai, Councillor with the Eritrean Catholic Chaplaincy in Toronto, also attended the meeting.
The expectation and hope are that the Moslem Community also want to hear the Christian prospective of peaceful coexistence and cooperation in building safer environments in Toronto and anywhere else in the world. It is through open and frank dialogue that we can look at the future with confidence.
Thanks also to... Messaggero di Sant'Antonio!
