Discussions Focused on the Paths of Dialogue and the Implications of Pope Leo XIV's Visit

"Paths of dialogue and reconciliation, human fraternity, nurturing hearts for peace, the relationship between the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC) and the Vatican and the Chaldean Church, holistic human development, and serving life and the common good."

All these issues and topics were discussed during the meeting between His Beatitude Patriarch Cardinal Mar Louis Raphaël Sako, Chaldean Patriarch in Iraq and the World, and Honorary President of the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC), and the MECC Secretary General Professor Michel Abs, at the Chaldean Eparchy in Baabda, Brasilia. Attendees were the Head of the Chaldean Community in Lebanon His Eminence Bishop Michel Kassarji, the Episcopal Vicar General of the Chaldean Eparchy of Beirut Monsignor Raphael Traboulsi, and the Coordinator of the Dialogue, Social Cohesion, and Human Dignity Program Professor Laure Abi Khalil.

Following the reception, both sides spoke at length about the aforementioned topics and affirmed that "genuine dialogue has become a necessity in times of crisis to overcome divisions and reject the logic of violence and hate speech, so that everyone may follow the path of mutual love and reconciliation. This is what the Council works on in its programs and seeks to transfer this experience to many countries."
