Bengaluru, 12 January 2020: St. Francis of Assisi, in the time of Crusades, braved the church establishments of his time and took on a peace expedition to meet the Sultan al-Malikal-Kamil to propose the end of war and to facilitate peace between the two warring factions. A great adventure of peace and dialogue! Remembering this great event in the history, an Inter-religious dialogue was arranged in St.Anthony’s Friary on the occasion of visit of the MZF guests who were on a cultural study tour to India.
