World Religious Leaders Kick Off Peace Summit in Naples

NAPLES, Italy - Muslim, Jewish, Orthodox and other Christian leaders kicked off an annual inter-faith peace summit here Sunday with calls for a formal structure linking world religions.

The pope did not formally attend the summit, organised by the Sant'Egidio community, but met and lunched with the delegates as part of a pastoral visit to this impoverished southern Italian city.

"With respect for the differences between the various religions, we are all called to work for peace and... reconciliation among peoples," he said.
