Yangon, Burma, Nov 28, 2017 / 03:50 am
In an impromptu meeting on Tuesday morning, Pope Francis urged religious leaders in Burma to work toward peace, each according to the gifts and traditions of their faith.
"Each one of you has their values, their wealth, and also their shortcomings. And each confession has its richness, its tradition, its wealth to give. And this can only be if we live in peace," the Pope said Nov. 28.
Peace itself is built "in the chorus of differences," he said.
On the morning of the first full day of his visit to Burma - also known as Myanmar - Nov. 27-30, Pope Francis met with religious leaders at the residence of Cardinal Charles Maung Bo of Yangon, in what was an unscheduled meeting.
