An international colloquium on the theme “Who is my Neighbour?” brought together speakers and participants from around the world to reflect on the World Council of Churches (WCC)-Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue (PCID) joint document “Serving a Wounded World in Interreligious Solidarity.” The colloquium was organized by the Church of Ireland’s journal SEARCH, in conjunction with the Anglican chaplaincy of Trinity College Dublin.

Archbishop of Dublin Most Rev. Dr Michael Jackson said, “The COVID-19 pandemic has brought into the foreground an urgent need to define ourselves as neighbors to one another. New circumstances require new relationships and the seminar explored through the document jointly produced by WCC and Pontifical Council what this means from the interreligious perspective. International scholars and practitioners led the way in carving out new pathways inspired by the parable of the Good Samaritan.”
