MANILA, January 26, 2006 (MALAYA) CHRISTIANS and Muslims will join leaders from other major religions in the Global Interfaith Dialogue to be held this Friday by the Centrist Democrat International (CDI), the same day of the launching of CDI Asia-Pacific, the region’s first political organization envisioned to match the influence and prestige of CDI’s European People’s Party.
The launch of the CDI Asia-Pacific will be attended by leaders of 10 major political parties from eight nations in Asia.
Speaker Jose de Venecia, president of the host Lakas Christian-Muslim Democrats (Lakas CMD), said the global interfaith dialogue seeks to foster multi-cultural and multi-religious understanding and tolerance that could help avert politico-religious tensions in the world’s trouble spots.
"Ultimately, we are laying the foundation for multi-religious and multi-cultural understanding that can be the true basis for enduring peace," De Venecia said.
Organizing committee chairman Francis Manglapus said former Indonesian president Abdurrahman Wahid; Libya’s Dr. Mohamed Sherif, secretary general of the World Islamic Call Society; Saudi Arabia’s Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulmohsin Al-Turki, secretary general of the World Muslim League; and Sen. Mushahid Hussai Seyed, secretary general of the Pakistani Muslim League will attend the CDI launching.
They will be joined by eminent religious personalities Dr. Tong Chan Wah (Taoist); An-Wu Lin (Confucianist); Dr. Hamdi Mohammad Murad Murad, Islamic researcher and scholar; Chief Imam Cheilkh Assane Cisse (Sufi) [i.e. Hasan Cisse], president of the African-American Islamic Institute; Taj Hamad (Sufi), secretary general of the World Association of Non-Government Organizations; Dr. Namdra Jain; Dr. Mohinder Singh (Sikh), director of Bhai Vir Singh Sahitva Sadan; Phra Dhamakosacarva (Buddhist); Yogiratna Ranjeet (Hindu), and Rabbi Itzhak Bar-Dea of Israel.
The Universal Peace Federation is sending Dr. Chung Hwan Kwak, delegation chairman; Dr. Thomas Walsh, secretary-general; and Dr. Christopher Kim and Julia Kim of UPF Asia.
Vice Gov. Mahid Mutilan, president of the Muslim party Ompia; Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, Bishop Efraim Tendero, national director of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches; and El Shaddai leader Bro. Mike Velarde will speak at the dialogue.
The UN General Assembly approved the global interfaith dialogue in November 2004, an initiative proposed by the Philippines through President Arroyo and De Venecia as a mechanism to mediate ethnic and politico-religious conflicts and violence in conflict regions of the world.
