"The Christians of Asia need to open up, to meet their non-Christian brothers and sisters, to have courage, remaining consistent with our faith, and to recognize the greatness of their spiritual values by looking for what unites us before stopping before what separates us. If the other person sees our sincere esteem and our spontaneous love, he or she cannot remain indifferent forever."
