Christian Identity and Interreligious Engagement

The three-day meeting opened 23 March with addresses by the PCID president, Cardinal Miguel Ayuso Guixot, and WCC’s acting general secretary, Rev. Prof. Dr Ioan Sauca, both praising the successful collaboration of the programmes.

Since the last WCC assembly, staff of PCID and WCC-IRDC can boast extensive and fruitful collaboration, including eight joint staff meetings, numerous conferences and consultations, expanding relations with Jewish and Muslim groups, and new bilateral dialogues with Taoists (PCID), Confucians (WCC) and Sikhs (WCC). Numerous joint studies have explored interreligious themes, most recently education for peace and Serving a Wounded World: Towards Interreligious Solidarity during the pandemic.
