Bishop urges action to foster peace amid unrest in Negros Island
==========
San Carlos Diocese Bishop Gerardo Alminaza has outlined a series of actions for his congregation to actively pursue peace and community healing in response to the ongoing unrest on Negros Island. Key initiatives include facilitating dialogues within parishes and community groups, advocating for policies that protect individuals affected by violence and hunger, and extending support through community service and charitable works. The bishop is also calling for nightly ringing of church bells at 8 p.m. as a prayer for peace and for a dialogue among all parties involved in the armed conflict. The letter emphasizes the role of Christian values and highlights the teachings of Pope Francis on the importance of dialogue and solidarity. The bishop's message is a call to the faithful to become agents of change and embody Christ's peace in a region striving for stability and justice.
