....and all the world wondered after the beast.
Revelation 13:3
"Archdiocesan Council for Interreligious Dialogue of Singapore in recent
days organized a special online Interreligious Forum dedicated to young
people, which was attended by 160 young adults of different religions
across Singapore.
The event, organized in collaboration with the Wee Kim Wee Center of Singapore Management University (SMU WKWC) and the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), was supported by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY).
Participants were of Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Taoist, Christian (Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox), Muslim, Sikh and Baha'i faiths. Those present gathered for a four-hour event to deepen their knowledge of the encyclical letter of Pope Francis "Fratelli Tutti" on fraternity and social friendship.
Those present recalled that the text of "Fratelli Tutti" draws its main inspiration from the life and teachings of St. Francis of Assisi. From the chapters of the encyclical the various themes for the discussion in groups and workshops of the Forum were taken: the importance of social dialogue; authentic connection in the digital age; walk towards a civilization of love; explore opportunities for joint action between religious communities; the relevance of religion in an increasingly secular world.

A common belief that emerged from the Forum is that
dialogue must not be an end in itself. Instead, it is "a means to
achieve a better tomorrow by encouraging common action".AgenziaFides
