"Ours is an unassuming Church -- we are less than 0.1% of the population -- but it seeks to be significant, and it desires to be a sign and sacrament of the Kingdom of God. To live dialogue on a daily basis, the Christian must know and feel himself as the ‘sacrament of encounter. The whole local Church must ask itself how to concretely live its mission. Our Church is a Church of encounter and dialogue. Yet, although we have made a good start, we can do much more. or example, how to live Islamic-Christian dialogue after the pope’s visit, after Fratelli tutti, after the document of the Universal Fraternity signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam al Tayyeb?"
