At the 11th Congress of the Spanish Association for the Sciences of Religions (SECR), on “Violence, Peace and Religion”, celebrated in Seville, Spain, from 19 to 21 May 2016, the Deputy Secretary General for External Relations of the International Dialogue Centre (KAICIID), Ambassador Alvaro Albacete, emphasised the importance of religion in peacebuilding initiatives. “Religions’ standpoints and statements against violence are needed, but they are not enough. They need to be followed through and implemented via interreligious actions,” he said. The DSG spoke at the opening ceremony of the congress co-organized by the Universidad Pablo de Olavide, the Spanish Association for the Sciences of Religions, the International Dialogue Centre (KAICIID) and the University Institute of Sciences of Religions at the Complutense University of Madrid. This interdisciplinary congress brought together over one hundred experts who discussed the challenge of violence purportedly committed in the name of religion and offered criteria for peaceful solutions based on dialogue.
