Andrea Riccardi and Father Jacques Mourad talked about the book "A Monk as Hostage: The Struggle for Peace of a Prisoner of Jihadists." This occurred on Tuesday, June 18 at 6 p.m. in the Benedict XIII room of the San Gallicano complex, which is located at Via di San Gallicano 25 (Rome).
This book is about the terrible war in Syria, Father Paolo Dall'Oglio, the possible coexistence between Christians and Muslims, and the peaceful resistance of a monk who, in the name of his Christian faith, radically rejects violence. Andrea Riccardi even emphasizes in the introduction that "These pages are a testimony of the power of prayer... Mourad shows how commitment to peace, dialogue, and friendship for the other is impossible without prayer."
This happened on the occasion of the release of the book "A Monk as Hostage. The Struggle for Peace of a Prisoner of Jihadists."
