"Religion can contribute to uproot the causes for conflict, build bridges of dialogue, seek justice and be a prophetic voice for the victims and a healing voice to the wrongdoer as well as the victim."
Father Indunil Kodithuwakku, undersecretary of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, said this during the concluding presentation he delivered at the Sant'Egidio International Meeting for Peace, adding that, "The ministry of Christian reconciliation is to break down the dividing walls built within the human hearts," reported Vatican Radio. To explore the theme, ‘Peace is always possible: Religions and Culture in Dialogue,’ leaders of different Christian Churches and communities along with other religious leaders and representative gathered for the three-day meeting which began Sunday and ended yesterday in Albania's capital of Tirana.
