The Holy See delegation at the United Nations co-sponsored a panel on “The Relevance of Interreligious and Inter-Civilizational Dialogue to the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals,” Friday, March 27, 2015.
Archbishop Bernardito Auza, Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, spoke about the role of religions and faith-based play in the eradication of poverty. Auza said religious organizations are at an advantage in the fight against poverty, having both “grassroots-level credibility” and being “universally networked.”
