This year, for the first time, will take place on 10th september at Mexico City, at Ibero-american Jesuits University Auditorium, a conference on the theme "Peace is the Future" in connection with the interreligious meeting organized by the Community of Sant'Egidio in Antwerpen, Belgium.
There will be representatives of Christian Churches, Jews and Muslims, to meditate together on the roots of peace we can find in every religion. At the end will be read an appeal for peace, in order to stress the importance of dialogue and peace in a country tormented by violence.
