On Saturday, September 10, 2022, the Xaverian International Theologate of Manila and the Lay Xaverian Philippines joined an activity of Interreligious Dialogue called "Moments of Encounter". The event gathered people from different groups such as students from the Guang Ming College of the Fo Guang Shan based in Tagaytay-Philippines, the Youth for a United World of the Focolare Movement, the Xaverian Missionaries, and the two host communities of the Manila Golden Mosque and Quiapo Church.
The activities started at the entrance of the Manila Golden Mosque at 1 PM. Imam Haji Ali gave us a tour of the mosque and Imam Haron Angie talked to us about Islam stressing the fact that we all have Abraham as our father in faith according to the promise of God to him.
After visiting the Manila Golden Mosque, we walked together under a soft rain (pilgrimage) to the Quiapo Church where Mr. Jomer Vitino gave us a tour of Quiapo Church (Saint John the Baptist Parish) with a rich presentation of the Hesus Nazareno, a popular devotion to the Black Nazarene Jesus here in the Philippines that gathers regularly people of different faith expressions.
Our program continued in one of the function rooms of the Quiapo Church offices where different speakers shared their experiences in Interreligious Dialogue. It was also a moment of interpersonal sharing to get to know one another! Snacks and refreshments also were served during the program, and everyone expressed the desire to have other moments of encounter.
