For a human fraternity – Christians and Muslims united in diversity

Beginning with the Document on Human Brotherhood, signed in Abu Dhabi by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmad Al-Tayyib on 5 February 2019, the volume re-reads this document in the light of the relations that the Catholic Church has established with Muslims, with particular attention since the beginning of Francis’ pontificate, promoting mutual understanding and respect. At the same time, the concepts of encounter and dialogue are explored in their concrete feasibility, so that the Document “may become an object of research and reflection in all schools, universities and educational and research institutions as a contribution to the education of the younger generations for the sake of peace and the defence of the rights of the oppressed and the least”.

En commençant par le Document sur la fraternité humaine, signé à Abu Dhabi par le pape François et le grand imam d’Al-Azhar Ahmad Al-Tayyib le 5 février 2019, ce volume relit ce document à la lumière des relations que l’Église catholique a établies avec les musulmans, avec une attention particulière depuis le début du pontificat de François, en promouvant la compréhension et le respect mutuels. En même temps, les concepts de rencontre et de dialogue sont explorés dans leur faisabilité concrète, afin que le Document “puisse devenir l’objet de recherche et de réflexion dans toutes les écoles, universités et instituts d’éducation et de recherche, comme contribution à l’éducation des jeunes générations au nom de la paix et de la défense des droits des opprimés et des plus petits”.
