- To be in solidarity with all peoples in the uplift of the less privileged, in the building of a progressive, just humane and ecologically sound society.
Call
Recognizing the uniqueness of each religion, people are called to undergo a process of spiritual growth by continuously discovering God’s dialogue with humanity. It is a call to live the spirituality of life-in-dialogue and to witness God’s presence in the plurality of cultures and religions as a habitat and an experience that leads to dialogue and peace.
LOGO
The logo symbolizes dialogue and peace. It represents a group of people who are joined together although the circles, which represent the heads, are not in the same direction. It is a sign that in the plurality of cultures and religions people have to move together for dialogue and peace.
“SILSILAH”
It is an Arabic word that literally means “chain” or “link”. In the Philippines and other countries the same root word is used to mean “genealogical tree” which implies a spiritual chain of humanity as created by the same God.
