Berhanu Tamene explains the ambitions of the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar and the aspects that are important to interfaith dialogue.
The Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) was founded by bishops, cardinals, and priests who were sympathetic to the ideas of Pan-Africanism. Specifically, the idea of uniting people as one body to work towards prosperity, progress, peace and justice for all. Berhanu Tamene discusses one of the strategies used by SECAM at the grassroots level in order to avoid conflict and incidents through the teaching of the interreligious council’s peace building manual, which is designed for use by all faiths.
