On 20th March 2014 the city of Rome host to the conference “Chiara and the religions: together towards unity in the human family”<\/strong>. Remembering her six years on from her death, over 500 participants from 32 nations around the world, representing 8 religions, wished to provide joint testimony of the dialogue opened by the charisma in unity of Chiara Lubich<\/a>, founder of the Focolari Movement and prominent figure in the present-day reality of interfaith dialogue. The event was preceded\u00a0 by a three-day seminar which saw the participation of\u00a0 250 people from 25 countries.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Promoted by the Focolari Movement<\/a> and New Humanity<\/strong>,\u00a0 the conference was held with the patronage of the President of the Italian Republic, of UNESCO, of the Italian National Commission for UNESCO<\/a>, of Roma Capitale, and of\u00a0 Religion for Peace.<\/p>\n

\"ConferenzaThe Focolari Movement has always been engaged in interfaith dialogue, but until this event mutual awareness and reflection had only been undertaken bilaterally. This conference was the first occasion on which a plurality of religious traditions<\/strong> was joined together enhancing, as never before, mutual awareness and\u00a0 dialogue.
“A choral testimony, a polyphony \u2013 as one participant put it \u2013 confirmation of a choice and of a common endeavour.”<\/p>\n

The first stage of the event took place at Castelgandolfo<\/strong>, where Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Shintoists and members of the Tenrikyo faith, coming from the 5 continents, shared and compared ideas (in groups and in plenary session) on various issues, exchanging experiences on how best to face the challenges which the world of today sets to the religious life<\/strong> and organizations.
A delegation of twenty participants was received by Pope Francesco<\/strong> in a private audience on 19th\u00a0 March.<\/p>\n

\"ConferenzaThe following day saw the event move to the Aula Magna of the Pontificala Urbaniana University of Rome<\/strong>, where a closing conference<\/strong> was held. The audience of over 500 people heard speeches by the monk Phrama Thongratana<\/strong> and the Rev. Waichiro Izumita<\/strong>, Buddhists;\u00a0 Dr. Vinu Aram<\/strong>, Hindu, Imam Ronald Shaheed<\/strong> and Prof. Amer Al Hafi<\/strong>, Muslims; Rabbi David Rosen<\/strong>, a Jew;\u00a0 Card. Francis Arinze<\/strong> and the Focolari President, Maria Voce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
