Assisi Interfaith Meetings

The Assisi Interfaith Meetings are gatherings that bring together leaders and representatives of various religious traditions to promote dialogue, mutual understanding, and peace. Initiated in 1986 by Pope John Paul II in Assisi, Italy, these events aim to foster respect for diverse beliefs, encourage cooperation on social issues, and build bridges across faith communities. They serve as a platform for shared prayer, discussion, and collaboration, emphasizing common values like compassion and justice. The meetings underscore the importance of religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence in a multicultural world.
