Celebrating our diversity around the world
At the heart of all this is an appreciation of encounters and intercultural and interreligious dialogue. The value of dialogue and difference as assets for acting together aims to ensure that differences are not factors of decrease but of increase and greater benefit for the benefit of all and the community.
Fondacio's open-mindedness is key to its functioning. It is not a community with a strong or confining identity component. Anyone, whatever their beliefs, can find what they are looking for and can get involved.
Within Fondacio, there are several cultures from East to West, several denominations, Orthodox, Protestant, Catholic... they are also other people, without religious labels, who meet, dialogue and act together. The purpose of our meetings is to open our hearts widely to the peripheries of the world, and to let ourselves be moved to better hear the calls and cries, the hopes and anxieties, the joys and sorrows of today's men and women, and more particularly the most vulnerable.
As Saint Augustin affirms, "fraternal love is God Himself". It is the beating heart of Fondacio who desires to witness more and more of such love. Fraternity is lived as a companionship, a source of support, encouragement, challenge and even co-creation. Fraternity is the goal and also the path of the human adventure, our path. Fondacio proposes to live and progress together on this common road, open to all.
