Ammon News - AMMONNEWS – Majlis El-Hassan - HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal, on Saturday (December 26, 2009) congratulated Christians in Jordan on the occasion of Christmas.

During his meeting today (Saturday, 26 December 2009) at the Armenian Orthodox Church with heads of churches and representatives of Christian denominations in the Kingdom, HRH called for drawing hope through emphasizing common religious and human ethics, morals and values; stressing the need to have a common position towards religious freedom and the valuable meanings which reflect the impact of religion on culture.

"Let's talk about the enclosure of thought, love and generosity. Let's talk about communication in terms of knowledge and love for millions of people" the prince said; reminding that Sharif Hussein bin Ali, may God rest his soul, worked for making the Arab countries a haven for all believers in God.

Prince El Hassan pointed out that this region of the world is invited, in 2012, to participate in a very important dialogue under the General Assembly of the United Nations on the global commons; hoping that Arabs become more influential in the introduction of religion and culture, and mutual influence between them, into the definition of the Millennium Development Goals in its second phase which begins in 2015.

HRH said that we are called upon today to think about the future of life, not only in terms of survival; calling for a faith-based approach which activates intellectual generosity and the social role of various religious and intellectual institutions.

“We have to revive the enlightment of wisdom and love which started, historically, in the Arab region” HRH stressed.
