Franciscan Presence and Dialogue: Peace-Making and Inculturation in a Culture of Violence
St. Francis went to meet the Sultan during the Crusades. St. Clare had an encounter with Saracens who threatened to attack the church where she was living with her sisters. In both instances, the man and woman who inspired the Franciscan movement sought peace and reconciliation, an alternative way of being with those who were “other,” different in beliefs and culture.
This event will provide a closer look at their stories and its implications for life in the 21st century.
