\nElijah\u2019s message is that the world\u2019s major religions radiate wisdom capable of healing the world. Engaging in deep spiritual conversations across interfaith lines enriches our inner lives, strengthens our prayer, and opens our hearts. By discovering unity and embracing diversity, we recognize that while we are many, we are also one.
\nTheir unique program fosters interfaith dialogue at the highest levels, bringing together global religious leaders and renowned scholars from around the world through research projects, public lectures, and social initiatives. On January 27, 2026, the Elijah Interfaith Institute <\/em>took an important step toward realizing its vision of an interfaith spiritual center in Assisi. After years of research, negotiations, and fundraising, the institute purchased the Hotel Porziuncola, located next to the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels (Portiuncula). The hotel will be transformed into an interdenominational facility, focused on three main themes: friendship, saints, and prayer, seen from an interfaith perspective. More information is available at https:\/\/friendshipandhope.org\/<\/a>. On July 5-6, 2026, a seminar entitled \u201cSaints: Historical Reality and Spiritual Legacy\u201d<\/em> will be held as part of the Institute\u2019s \u201cSummer School.\u201d Information is available here: https:\/\/summerschool.elijah-interfaith.org\/<\/a>. I invite you all to participate in this seminar.<\/p>\n
