WASHINGTON, D.C., MARCH 6, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Benedict’s XVI’s scheduled meeting with interreligious leaders during the Pope’s visit to the United States next month will focus on what is at the heart of all religions, says Bishop Richard Sklba.
Auxilary Bishop Sklba of Milwaukee, the chair of the U.S. episcopal conference’s Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, said this about the Holy Father’s April 17th meeting with 200 religious leaders during his April 15-20 visit to the United States.
Following the theme, "Religions Working for Peace," the Holy Father will meet and address members of Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Jain and Hindu communities at the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington, D.C.
