Belonging Together: Migrants, Refugees, Displaced Persons and Global Solidarity
A collection of the documents, transcriptions, recaps of speaker presentations and discussions, PowerPoint presentation links and video links for this global, inter religious conference that took place from 19-21 August 2021. More than 3,000 people from 19 countries across Europe, Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands and the Americas participated.
Fratelli Tutti, issued by Pope Francis, is a landmark encyclical that addresses the urgent need for global solidarity, fraternity, and social friendship in a divided world. It highlights the interconnectedness of humanity and urges people of all faiths and backgrounds to work together to build a more just and peaceful society. Drawing on the parable of the Good Samaritan, Pope Francis calls for a deeper sense of compassion and neighbourly love, especially towards the poor, migrants, and marginalised individuals.
