Abt. Takeuchi, Chairperson of Daiseion-Ji, presented in ‘Humanum Inter-religious Dialogue Symposium‘ at Synod Hall in Vatican, November 17-19, 2014. Over 30 speakers came together from all over the world and presented their views and insights on family and marriage, and their value in society, based on the theme ‘the complementarity of man and woman.’

The presenters include Pope Francis, Card. Gerhard Müller, prefect of Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and representatives from the Anglican church, Orthodox churches, evangelical churches, Jewish, Muslims, Sikhism, Jainism, Buddhism, and more. Around 350 audiences were invited, who carefully listened to the presentations and participated in the lively discussions.
