Vatican University Hosts Event on Importance of Inter-Religious Dialogue | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

One of the Vatican universities hosted an event earlier this week on the importance of offering courses on inter-religious dialogue. The John Paul II Center for Inter-Religious Dialogue hosted the event called "From the University to the Field." It addressed issues such as preparing future generations of Church leaders to be able to discuss issues with members of different faiths. Auxiliary Bishop of Maiduguri, Nigeria, Bishop John Bogna Bakeni, joins to tell us more about this meeting and what the highlights were. One of the topics of the meeting was "how best can inter-religious dialogue be taught and studied?" Bishop Bakeni discusses what he thinks and why it is so important to offer this as a field of study. On another note, Bishop Bakeni gives us an update on daily life for the faithful in Nigeria, especially considering the kidnappings and other violence against Christians happening there.
