Study on the theme of fraternity from the Abu Dhabi Document on HUMAN FRATERNITY FOR WORLD PEACE AND LIVING TOGETHER, signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar on February 4, 2019<\/p>\n
The choice of the research theme came gradually. First of all, there was a need to honour a lack, but also a desire for research on Islam and Christianity here in Rome. University professors cannot just teach or publish articles on their own, without meeting and doing research together. After the extremely positive experience of the PLURIEL Congress “Islam and Belongings” in June 2018 at the Gregorian, with FUCE, PISAI and the Centro Studi Interreligiosi della Gregoriana, Diego Sarri\u00f3 Cucarella and I said to ourselves that we should continue the research at the local level, that is to say, in Rome, which is a particular context because it is the seat of the successor of Peter, the European capital and a place where so many cultures cross. Working on the theme of fraternity (friendship – enmity – limits…) came as a second step, and after having contacted researchers of different specialities, interested in the problems linked to Islam and who are stable in Rome. Two rounds of discussion led unanimously to the choice of this rich theme. We were of course reminded of the recent meeting in Abu Dhabi and the signing of the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Common Coexistence between Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmad al-Tayyeb on 4 February.<\/p>\n
For the functioning of the research laboratory, Diego and I alternate the animation, one time at the Gregorian and the other time at the PISAI. We often work together, following the signing of a Convention between the two Institutions in September 2015, when the Centro Studi Interreligiosi della Gregoriana was created. A joint Gregorian-PISAI publication of the results of our research is planned at the end of the group on Fraternity.<\/p>\n
A meeting every two months, one or two members of the group present their article sent a few days before to all. The article is discussed orally and the researcher who presents his thesis takes note of the remarks made. The common language is Italian. All this is very enriching.<\/p>\n
It is not possible to remain alone in the academic world. The University must be a place of confrontation, progress, debate and mutual enrichment. The PLURIEL network is a great opportunity to renew ourselves, to make science grow, and to help people.<\/p>\n
