Touched by an experience of conflict between Muslims and Christians in Mindanao and inspired by God's dialogue with people of all cultures and religions, Fr. Sebastiano D'Ambra, P.I.M.E. with a group of Muslim and Christian friends started officially the Silsilah Dialogue Movement in Zamboanga City, Philippines on May 9, 1984.
