Paris and Saint-Brieuc will host interfaith marches on Sunday, October 18, to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1986 interreligious meeting in Assisi, Italy, which was organized by Pope John Paul II. In Paris, the event will bring together religious and secular actors and associations to visit several places of worship, including the Great Pagoda of the Bois de Vincennes, the Great Mosque of Paris, the church of Saint-Sulpice, the Ukrainian cathedral of Saint-Volodymyr-the-Great, the Beaugrenelle synagogue, and the Baha'i Center of Paris. The march will conclude with a gathering at the Trocadéro on the steps of the Square of Human Rights, where a joint declaration for peace will be read. The Compostelle-Cordoue association, which will participate in the march, stated that the event will highlight the importance of interreligious and interconvictional dialogue and the role of individuals in promoting peace. In support of this approach, an interconvictional meeting is planned for Sunday, October 25, on the Esplanade of Religions and Cultures in Bussy-Saint-Georges, in the Paris region. The event will include shared lunch, visits to places of worship, an interreligious ceremony, and workshops in small groups aimed at generating 40 ideas for the next 40 years. These activities seek to foster understanding and cooperation across different beliefs and backgrounds. A similar march is expected to take place in Saint-Brieuc on Sunday, October 18. It is co-organized by the diocese of Saint-Brieuc, the city's mosque, and the United Protestant Church of the Côtes d'Armor. The route will connect three places of worship: departing at 3 p.m. from the mosque, stopping at 4 p.m. at the Protestant temple, and arriving at 5 p.m. at the Saint-Étienne cathedral, Place du Général de Gaulle. Each stage will provide an opportunity for meetings, discoveries, and sharing between communities. The event will conclude with a glass of friendship on the steps of the cathedral. The organizers note that participants can reach the meeting points on foot or by car and invite those with mobility difficulties to contact them directly. These events draw inspiration from the 1986 Assisi meeting, where nearly 150 representatives and leaders of major religious traditions gathered to pray for peace. The meeting, held in the birthplace of Saint Francis, emphasized that religions could unite in a common aspiration for peace without compromising individual beliefs or seeking religious syncretism. The spirit of Assisi has since inspired numerous interreligious dialogue initiatives worldwide, with the current events in France being a continuation of that legacy.
