1 Engaging Communities for Transformative Education

2 Cardinal Quevedo "Signed peace agreements do not guarantee a just and lasting peace when the political and economic causes of war are aggravated by cultural and religious biases and prejudices that have been operative in the minds and hearts of Muslims and Christians for four centuries."

3 "Rooted in Christ, we shall strive to eradicate prejudices and grow in deeper understanding and appreciation of other ecclesial communities and religious traditions, especially followers of Islam. We shall engage in dialogue of life, faith, prayer and common action with them..."

4 Two Complementary Peace Processes Vertical Horizontal

30 Normina, a typical young Muslim lady who wears a tundung stayed at the convent for six months.

31

32 When you hear the sounds of mothers weeping and children crying in the night, you don t anymore ask whether they are Lumads, Muslims or Christians.

68 There is no peace in the world as long as there is no peace among religions. And there is no peace among religions as long as there is no dialogue among believers. (Hans Kung)

69 If you want to go near, walk alone. If you want to go far, walk together.

70 To create a beautiful world where people live in peace and harmony
