THIS MONTH'S ISSUE - October\November 2008...

 
The beauty of DIALOGUE
  A very moving scene in the Oscar Award winning film, Gandhi, by Richard Attenborough showed a Hindu who had killed a Muslim child coming to Gandhi, to ask him to stop his fasting, promising him that they would end the violence in Calcutta. The Hindu, sure that he would go to hell, begged, Gandhi to stop his fasting for he did not want this wrong-doings to cause Gandhi’s death. Gandhi assured him that there was a way out of hell for him and that was to adopt a child, a Muslim child specifically, and to raise him as a Muslim.

PLAIN TALK

 
Crisis of FAITH
Live-in or MARRIAGE?
 

“In the last few years I have been going through a crisis of faith: did not man perhaps create ‘God’ because of his need to look for comfort? And if there are other universes, could they have been created by the same ‘God’? Would I be Catholic today if I had been born in a country with other religious traditions? Can you help me understand?”
J.D.

“I have friends who are in a live-in relationship. I see that they are happy and co-existing well. This raises some doubts about the value of marriage as binding while a live-in arrangement seems to offer more freedom and comfort. Can you help me on this?”
O.S. from Manila

ISSUES

 
DIALOGUE among religions for
fraternity among peoples
 
The world is changing dramatically, and becoming a multicultural and multi-faith society. While this brings with it xenophobia, religious intolerance, and the fear of a clash of civilizations, the Focolare Movement is engaged in the promotion of dialogue among religions. The religious pluralism of the world’s peoples ought not to be the cause of divisions and war, rather it ought to contribute to the reestablishment in fraternity of the unity of the human family.
