Zagreb - Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandroković attended a meeting of representatives of various Christian communities in Croatia and expressed his support for strengthening the dialogue between Christian churches and among stakeholders in society.
According to a press release on Thursday, Jandroković received dignitaries of the Catholic Church, the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Macedonian Orthodox Church, the Baptist Church, the Evangelical-Pentecostal Church, the Greek Catholic Church and other guests present.
He expressed satisfaction with the gathering of such a large number of Christian denominations in Parliament House and supported this type of meeting with the aim of building unity in diversity, better mutual understanding and tolerance, and in the spirit of everything that connects them.
Jandroković spoke about the importance of respecting both one's own and other people's values in a society that is diverse and in which many worldviews and beliefs coexist. It is these differences in the fact that require additional strengthening of tolerance, mutual respect and understanding but also in the political arena. He underlined that it is important to have debates in the Sabor, and ultimately Croatian society, on these principles. At the same time, he underlined the importance of reducing divisions and highlighting everything that connects stakeholders in society.
The meeting of Christian communities was organised by MP Marin Miletić, on the occasion of the end of Prayer Week for Christian Unity.
