Marco Impagliazzo presents Sant’Egidio’s commitment to peace at NYU
On Friday, October 3 at 6:30 PM, at the NYU Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò (24 West 12th Street, New York), the President of the Community of Sant’Egidio, Marco Impagliazzo, gives a lecture entitled “Daring Peace. Sant’Egidio, Diplomacy, and a World at War”.
In Redipuglia in 2014, Pope Francis said that “war is madness” and that “we are in a piecemeal Third World War.” Today, the painful experience of conflicts and violence are multiplying, and the world seems caught in a spiral of war.
In this context, Sant’Egidio carries on a long-standing commitment to mediation and peacebuilding. Marco Impagliazzo highlights how working for peace is a daring enterprise, a bold response to the entrenched dynamics of war. At a time when waging war seems to be the prevailing trend, it is necessary to “dare.”
