Abstract

In an increasingly globalized world, religions have rediscovered the importance, and the urgency, of dialogue and of facing together the great challenges that affect humanity: war, poverty, care for the environment, etc. This article describes the recent history of interreligious dialogue since the meeting in Assisi, promoted by John Paul II, and the development of the Spirit of Assisi through the annual meetings for peace that the Community of Sant’Egidio has held since then.
