Roundtable
MEMORY OF THE DNIESTER CONFLICT:
FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION THROUGH CHRISTIAN FAITH
Saturday, May 21 2011, the Institute of Social History "ProMemoria" in cooperation with the Association of War Veterans from the Republic of Moldova (1992), and the Monastery „Noul Neamț” from the village of Chițcani organized the Roundtable “Memory of the Dniester Conflict: Forgiveness and Reconciliation through Christian Faith”.
This meeting aims to bring into the public attention from the Republic of Moldovan the idea of reconciliation of the Moldovan society through the Christian faith and forgiveness. In order to offer an appropriate framework for the discussions between representatives of academic, university and civil society milieus from both sides of the River Dniester, the organizers planned to develop this Roundtable at the Monastery „Noul Neamț” from the village of Chițcani - a monastic centre of high religious and historical culture.
Asserting the existence of only one historical truth, we accept the existence of consensual views or even divergent opinions regarding this historical truth. The mutual exchange of views in spirit of understanding and openness toward reconciliation on behalf of both parts involved in the Dniester conflict can contribute to their appropriation and thus to restore the confidence of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova in the reintegration of the country. The Christian faith and forgiveness can be the key elements toward the reconciliation with the traumatic past of the Dniester conflict.
