Cardinal Scola, Archbishop of Milan, will present
the proposal of Oasis, a Foundation created in 2004 to encourage mutual understanding and opportunities for encounter between Christians and Muslims in contemporary societies.
To this aim Oasis publishes a journal in several languages (including Arabic and Urdu), a newsletter and two series of books.
Oasis believes that interreligious dialogue involves intercultural dialogue, because religious experience is always lived and expressed through the medium of culture: not merely on the theological and spiritual level, but also on the political, economic, and social levels.
The first meeting, chaired by Lord David Alton, is a private briefing for key policymakers, scholars and civil society representatives to facilitate an exchange among the participants.
The second meeting a public lecture, is organized in conjunction with
Heythrop College, University of London and
the Catholic Union.
