Patriarch John of Antioch met with a group of judges from Damascus and the surrounding areas.
During the meeting, discussions were held on various crucial issues for this phase, emphasizing the importance of the constitution as the foundation of a state built on pluralism rather than majorities and minorities. The focus was on safeguarding the state’s structure, diversity, and the necessary capabilities for the country’s advancement.
The participants underscored the significance of the judiciary as a fundamental pillar of the state and a key element in establishing a rule of law-based society that ensures genuine freedom. The conversation also touched upon future prospects and objectives, particularly the process of drafting the upcoming constitution and the involvement of Christians, alongside all other segments of society, in shaping the constitution comprehensively rather than solely focusing on Christian-related laws.
The collaboration between Christians and their Muslim counterparts serves to uphold citizenship in a nation where the populace aspires to live in harmony.
