Today I was able to attend the Foro Regional Libertad Religiosa (Regional forum on Religious Freedom). It is encouraging to see the discussions around how the construction of peace is the responsibility of every sector of society, including the religious sector. The issue of religious freedom has played a role in the Colombian conflict, therefore is a necessary area of society to be addressed in constructing peace.
