2001: An Interfaith Response to September 11th

Since the tragedy of September 11, His All Holiness Bartholomew, has traveled tirelessly, addressing the specter of international terrorism and fostering inter-faith communication and action. At the end of December of 2001, he cochaired a major inter-faith meeting with the President of the European Commission, Roman Prodi, on "The Peace of God in the World" in Brussels, which drew major religious leaders from Christianity, Islam and Judaism. The conferees signed The Brussels Declaration, which, among other things, stated that "It is the responsibility of religious leaders to prevent religious fervor from being used for purposes that are alien to its role." Furthermore, it condemned violence, terrorism or ill-treatment of human beings as having no religious justification and contrary to the spirit of peace and justice.

On January 12th of this year, His All Holiness went to Iran and addressed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on "The Contribution of Religion to the Establishment of Peace in the Contemporary World."
