Participants at a high-level Catholic-Jewish meeting said they would like to involve Islam in a dialogue to help promote world peace and to defend life, from conception to natural death.

Participants said they believe religion has a role to play in resolving conflicts and tensions. They also condemned all violence, especially that carried out in the name of religion, and affirmed that all life is a divine gift to be respected and preserved.
