Al-Rahi Balances between Unity and Diversity
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi called on Thursday for building unity through diversity to protect Lebanon.
“It's easy to destroy but it's difficult to build,” al-Rahi told a visiting delegation from the Lebanese Forces.
“We should work to build the people and the cause,” he said.
Al-Rahi also called for protecting Lebanon and relinquishing counter-reactions on the political scene.
“We need more brotherhood and peace because we are desperately in deed for coexistence,” he said.
“There is a war of arms but there should be weapons to build unity in diversity because Lebanon's value lies in its diversity and not in unilateralism,” he said.
Al-Rahi also stressed that unity compels us to enjoy living in a diverse country.
