The “Silsilah” movement for dialogue has launched a new educational institute in the city of Zamboanga: the Emmaus College for Theology, which offers a Bachelor’s degree in Theology, with specialization in interreligious dialogue.
The new College obtained permission to operate from the “Commission for Higher Education” in the Philippines and will start lessons in August 2020, just as the new academic year 2019-2020 will coincide with the special “Year of interreligious dialogue, of ecumenism and of indigenous peoples,” proclaimed by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, which will begin with the Feast of Christ the King, on November 24, 2019.
In fact, the Catholic Church in the Philippines will pay particular attention to interreligious dialogue, ecumenism and indigenous peoples in preparation for 2021, when Christians in the Philippines will recall the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity in the archipelago.
