At a time of growing materialism, when the deepest spiritual and religious values are despised, Christians and Hindus can "work individually and collectively, with all religious traditions and people of good will, to foster and strengthen the human family through friendship and solidarity."
In the message, signed by Card Jean-Louis Tauran and Father Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot, respectively president and secretary of the Pontifical Council, we can read, "In this highly competitive world where increasingly individualistic and materialistic tendencies adversely affect human relationships and often create divisions in families and society as a whole, we wish to share our thoughts on how Christians and Hindus can foster human relationships for the good of all humanity through friendship and solidarity." "Relationships are fundamental to human existence. Security and peace in the local, national and international communities are largely determined by the quality of our human interaction. Experience teaches us that, the deeper our human relationships, the more we are able to advance towards cooperation, peace-building, genuine solidarity and harmony. In short, the ability to foster respectful relationships is the measure of authentic human progress and essential for promoting peace and integral development."
