82. Dialogue and Friendship in Society - Fratelli Tutti Chapter 6 - Belief Street
Welcome to Empathy Media Lab’s Belief Street where we’ll be exploring religious concepts through text and scripture, interviews and profiles, and documentaries and films.
For this series of Belief Street, I’ll be reading Fratelli Tutti, which is Pope Francis’ Encyclical subtitled "on fraternity and social friendship.”
The encyclical calls for more human fraternity and solidarity, and is a plea to reject wars.
So with an interest in getting back to my roots, for this installment, I’ll be reading Fratelli Tutti, Chapter 6 Dialogue and Friendship in Society.
#FratelliTutti
