"After the imams’ speeches, the Most Revd Michel Dubost, Roman Catholic Bishop of Evry and president of the French Bishops’ Council for Interreligious Affairs, and Pastor François Clavairoly, president of the Protestant Federation of France, praised this fresh, new initiative and called for renewed dialogue with Muslims.
In his concluding remarks, Whalon observed that the teachings of all religious traditions are potentially susceptible to extremist views and violence. “Christianity has no moral high ground historically. The wars of religion in the seventeenth century left a third of Europe’s population dead, all in the name of the Prince of Peace. Dialogue is the only way forward.”
Finally, at Whalon’s invitation, Rashed concluded the evening with a prayer in Arabic."
I commend the clergy of Paris for this gathering of prayer and discussion.
