Peace is Living Together – Philippines

By Fr. Jun Mercado, OMI

An international conference with the theme, “Living Together: Interreligious and InterculturalDialogue for Peace and Reconciliation” was held at Notre Dame University last June 6-7, 2014.  The Community of Sant’Egidio partnered with the Archdiocese of Cotabato under the leadership of Most Rev. Orlando Cardinal Quevedo, OMI in holding the said conference.

The conference provided platforms for conversation not only between the two protagonists in the peace talks but a real dialogue and conversations between and among the stakeholders on the ground. 

 Peace workers, advocates and builders across religions and ethnicity took time to share their stories and experiences as they continued the difficult and at times lonely journey to peace.
