Beirut (AsiaNews) - The Eastern Catholic Patriarchs are asking Christians to remain in their homeland and to engage in politics to be messengers of peace.
This is what emerges from the 20th assembly of the prelates of the Eastern Churches held November 14 to 17 in Bkerke, the seat of the Maronite Patriarchate in Lebanon. At the meeting, the bishops launched a series of resolutions on the situation which define the future of Christians in the Middle East. They are determined to move forward on the path of ecumenism, seeking practical solutions such as the common date of Easter which until now was celebrated at different times by Catholics and Orthodox.
The patriarchs of the Mashreq have also urged Christians to engage in public life and to cooperate with the moderate forces, rejecting violence as a means of political change. More Read
