La rencontre d'Assise de 1986 pour la paix dans le monde : préparatifs, déroulement et suites. Analyse praxéologique d'une pratique de dialogue interreligieux
In 1986, at Assisi, pope John Paul II innovated by gathering some of the world's religious leaders for a prayer for world peace.                                                                                              This essay is looking on this peculiar practice of interreligious dialogue at Assisi. A praxelogic analysis of the Assisi meeting permitted, first, in observation, after contextualization, to follow step-by-step preparations,proceedings and concluded on  the developments of Assisi in the world. Said observation permitted us to raise a fundamental issue as to how could the Church contribuate wholly to the interreligious dialogue while keeping intact its identity and purpose? In other words, was the Assisi meeting a practice of interreligious dialogue in accord with the convictions of the Christian faith?                                                                                                                                          In a second part named interpretation and on the basis of the aforementioned issue, we have proceeded to a theological analysis of the Assisi meeting in regard of major themes of Christology that are Revelation, Salvation, Truth and missiology. From this interpretation, follows that, at Assisi, catholic Christology was reconsidered in a more pneumatic and inclusive way.                                                                                                                          In the light of our theological interpretation and in a third part named intervention, we come back to what seems to be strengths and weaknesses of the meeting and then widen our overview with similar initiatives in Quebec being inspired by Assisi.  In that fact, we proposed that Saint-Joseph's Oratory, by its interfaith following and daily fraternity could become the theater of an interreligious meeting inspired by Assisi.
