During a meeting with participants of the conference "Partnership in Action: Towards One Earth, One Family, One Future", Patriarch Bartholomew spoke about "Christian values as an effective means of addressing contemporary global challenges".
"This is an essential part of our own ministry and mission in the modern world, where we promote inter-Christian and inter-religious dialogue, religious tolerance, religious freedom and a culture of solidarity in a time of turmoil, division and war," noted the head of the Phanar.
He noted: “The Ecumenical Patriarchate takes the lead in promoting inter-Christian dialogue, but also dialogue between Christianity and the other two monotheistic religions, Judaism and Islam."
