Ecology, environment, alternative energy, religions, human beings, nature: these are the themes of the 12th International Encounter, Our Mother Earth, organized by the Sacred Convent of Assisi in collaboration with Italy’s Environment Ministry. The encounter took place from 17-20 September 2016 within the framework of the International Meeting, Thirst for Peace: Religions and Cultures in Dialogue.
According to Fr. Enzo Fortunato, director the Sacred Convent’s press office: “It’s time to change our lifestyles to preserve Creation, in line with the commitment and determination proposed by Francis of Assisi, and pass it on to future generations. Everyone must make this effort, as Pope Francis has said repeatedly. No one should feel exempted from the responsibility of safeguarding creation on a daily basis by making every effort to use its resources respectfully.”
