Pope Benedict XVI to hold religious peace summit.
Pope Benedict XVI to hold religious peace summit.Pope Benedict XVI has said he will organise a summit in Assisi with religious heads to discuss how they can promote world peace.In a New Year message, the Pope also condemned inter-religious violence, including attacks against Christians in the Middle East.The summit in the Italian city will be held in October, 25 years after Pope John Paul organised a similar event.His announcement came hours after a bomb went off at a church in Egypt.At least 17 people died in the blast at the Coptic Christian Church in the northern Egyptian city of Alexandria, sparking a clash between Christians and Muslims."Facing the threatening tensions of the moment, especially discrimination, injustices and religious intolerance, which today strike Christians in a particular way, once again, I make a pressing appeal not to give in to discouragement and resignation," he said.Hmmmm....We all know which "Faith" is causing the killings on other religions.Read the full story here.
