CWN Editor's Note: “May you keep hope alight!” Pope Francis said to members of the Conference of Latin Bishops of the Arab Regions during an audience on August 28.
In his brief remarks the Pope acknowledged the mounting tensions in the Middle East and the difficulties facing the Christian minority there. “May the Lord always give you the strength to bear witness to faith in Him, also through respectful and sincere dialogue with everyone,” he said.
The Pontiff made a point of encouraging the bishops to “identify the best and most effective way to ensure adequate Christian formation for students in public schools, in contexts where the Christian presence is a minority.”
