Interreligious dialogue experiences in Milan's via Padova

The Diocese of Milan is hosting a conference on Tuesday, October 27, titled "Faith and Welcome" to discuss how local communities engage with different religions. The event features speakers such as Giacomo Crespi, a former missionary, who will discuss interreligious exchange in the via Padova area.

The "Parrocchie e Periferia" project, promoted by Caritas and the Fondazione Oratori Milanesi, has worked to open parishes to their local territories. In the last year, this project helped restart exchanges between local parishes and the community associated with the Casa della Cultura Musulmana. These efforts have led to the creation of an interreligious dialogue table that organizers now intend to make a permanent fixture in the neighborhood.
