| Summary: | The Bishops-Ulama Forum, formed in November 1996, brings together religious leaders of Muslim and Christian communities from all over Mindanao, the second largest island in the Philippines. It includes members of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, members of the Ulama League of the Philippines and bishops of the National Council of Churches of the Philippines. Even as the government and warring groups pursue a "genuine, comprehensive and lasting peace" through political treaties and socio-economic development, the bishops and ulama focus on "the missing component in many failed peace efforts--an affirmation of the convergent spiritual and cultural bases for peace." |
