Peace summit

"Pope Benedict XVI is to meet religious leaders from around the world who are holding a peace summit in Naples.
The event aims to consider how different religions and cultures can unite against violence.
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and Zoroastrians are attending the event organised by the Sant'Egidio Community, a Catholic lay organisation."

BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Pope to talk to religious leaders

I presume there's a contingent from CR going to be in attendance?
Who's going and what will you be saying?

Maybe he's representing a "culture."

If one wants to be pernickerty, one could also focus in on "Pope Benedict XVI has urged world religious leaders not to allow God's name to be used to justify violence" and wonder, for example where this leaves the Buddhist representative.
