Els santuaris cristians: fars per a la pau en la societat actual
Silvia Aulet Serrallonga 2023
The article states that Christian sanctuaries are an ideal place to address three dimensions of peace: personal, social and environmental. Having examined the concepts of sanctuary and peace, the author argues the main reasons for this, and proposes that sanctuaries should be: i) spaces for meeting oneself, where the visitor can find a calm and silent atmosphere, which allows reflection and meditation; ii) spaces of tolerance and respect, where you can reach out to all groups and communities; iii) spaces managed with ecological criteria that cover all dimensions, from the installations of their equipment to the surrounding landscape. Peace is not the goal, but the way, the commitment and the conviction to advance on the path of life.
