"Silsilah" a Sign of Hope

[From the Italian language press]:

Un segno di speranza nella travagliata isola di Jolo (Arcipelago delle Filippine), luogo di conflitto e vaste operazioni militari: nasce un nuovo Centro "Silsilah", per l’armonia islamo-cristiana.

Fides, Vaticano, Italia - mercoledì 12 settembre 2007

A sign of hope in the troubled island of Jolo (Archipelago of the Philippines), place of conflict and huge military operations: a new "Silsilah" Center is born, for the Christian-Islamic harmony.

Born in 1984, “Silsilah” -a mystical sufi word for "Chain"- has developed in the years the style of “life in dialogue”, first creating, near Zamboanga on the island of Mindanao, the “Village of harmony”, where Christians and Muslims, living a common life, offer a concrete example of solidarity, respect and mutual fraternity.
