Since the attachment to the homeland is an essential element of the identity of individuals and peoples and that the land has an area of freedom, we urge our people and our ecclesial communities not to succumb to the temptation to sell their property . To help Christians to keep their lands or to acquire new ones, in difficult economic situations, we propose the creation of such projects to be in charge to make them productive to allow owners to remain dignified in their countries. This effort must be accompanied by a profound reflection on the sense of presence and of the Christian vocation in the Middle East.Proposition 7Asset managementIn order to ensure transparency, you must apply a system of financial reporting in the financial affairs of the Church, distinguishing clearly what belongs and what is owned by the church personnel. At the same time we must preserve the properties and assets of the Church and its institutions.Proposition 8Encourage the pilgrimageThe East was the land of biblical revelation. Soon this area became a pilgrimage in the footsteps of Abraham in Iraq, in the footsteps of Moses in Egypt and the Sinai, in the footsteps of Jesus in the Holy Land (Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon), in the footsteps of St. Paul and Churches of the Acts of the Apostles and the Apocalypse (Syria, Cyprus, Turkey).
The pilgrimage to the Holy Places has been encouraged by the Popes. It is the occasion for a thorough catechesis, through a return to the sources. Visitors will discover the richness of the Eastern Churches, to meet and encourage the local Christian community, living stones of the Church.Proposition 9PeaceOur Churches are committed to pray and work for justice and peace in the Middle East and have engaged in the purification of memory and support the language of peace and hope, instead of fear and violence. Will appeal to the civil authorities responsible for applying the UN resolutions relating to the region, particularly the return of refugees, the status of Jerusalem and the holy places.Proposition 10Consolidate the presence of ChristiansOur churches need to create an office or committee that deals with the study of migration and of its reasons for finding the means to combat it.
They will do everything possible, and to strengthen the Christian presence in their homelands and this through development projects to limit the migration phenomenon.Proposition 11The pastoral care of migrationThe presence of many Eastern Christians in every continent by the local Churches to adopt a specific pastoral care of migration:1. The bishops will visit the workshops of migration in the Middle East to present the situation and needs of their dioceses;2. Formation of seminarians in a missionary spirit, opening to different cultures.3. Preparation and support of the priests sent on a mission outside the patriarchal territory.4. Promotion of vocations in the community outside the patriarchal territory.5. Sending priests and erection of his diocese, where the pastoral needs require it, according to canonical norms.Proposition 12Emigration and solidarity1. To awaken and strengthen in immigrants a sense of solidarity and sharing with countries of origin, contributing to projects pastoral and cultural development, educational, social and economic development.2. Educating Christian emigration to maintain fidelity to the traditions of their origins.3. Strengthen the bonds of communion between the Church and the emigrants came from.
