catholic conversations_flyer for 4th Feb 2016_FINAL FOR WEBSITE_700

catholic conversations‘ supports reform and renewal in the Catholic Church but allows for other topics to be explored and is open to everyone.

“Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue. It is the only way for individuals, families and societies to grow, the only way for the life of peoples to progress, along with the culture of encounter, a culture in which all have something good to give and all can receive something good in return. Others always have something to give me, if we know how to approach them in a spirit of openness and without prejudice. I call this attitude of openness and availability without prejudice, ‘social humility’, and it is this that favours dialogue. Only in this way can understanding grow between cultures and religions, mutual esteem without needless preconceptions, respectful of the rights of everyone. Today, either we stand together with the culture of dialogue and encounter, or we all loose, we all loose; from here we can take the right road that makes the journey fruitful and secure.” (Pope Francis, July 2015).
