CINGO meeting with Bishop Morerod OP

Dominicans for Justice and Peace participated recently in the CINGO. The CINGO (Catholic Inspired NGOs) Forum, a network of Catholic-inspired NGOs with consultative status at international and regional institutions, held a meeting in Geneva on 11 September with Bishop Charles Morerod, Bishop of Lausanne OP, Geneva and Fribourg and a Dominican friar. The Forum works to coordinate joint engagement with international bodies and to promote collective reflection on key issues such as the right to education, the right to development, and the rights of families. The meeting provided an important opportunity to introduce Bishop Morerod to the Forum’s activities and its collaboration with the Permanent Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations in Geneva, while also enabling him to meet for the first time with Catholic NGOs active at the UN and learn more about their advocacy and engagement.
