Sfeir Urges “Harmony” Despite Differences of Opinion
Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir urged the Lebanese on Saturday to join forces for a unified state despite differences in points of view.
The Lebanese "should be in agreement and cooperative," Sfeir told a delegation from Lebanese Forces students in Bkirki.
"You have to stick together even if those you live with (in the country) don”t agree with you," the patriarch told his visitors.
Lebanon”s 17 different confessions "should be in harmony to build a united nation," he added.
On Friday, Sfeir used his Christmas sermon to praise the "calm atmosphere" among the various sects in Lebanon and urged Lebanese citizens to be loyal to their nation.
