The Institute on Mercy has its origins in the singular articulations between justice and mercy within the world’s different spiritual traditions. Its creation follows in the wake of the Abu Dhabi Declaration. (see excerpt on justice and mercy for the dialogue)co-signed in 2019 by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmad Al-Tayyeb, then ratified by major religious traditions at the Astana meeting in 2022.
The Institute on Mercy highlights justice and mercy as two inseparable pillars for the deployment of a fraternity founded on human dignity.
“The world would be less deserted if we could recognize a common vocation, that of multiplying the fountains of mercy […] and drinking from them.
(Christian de Chergé, L’invincible espérance).

The Institute’s first project is to organize the World Interfaith Meeting on Justice and Mercy (WIMJM 2027) in Bali in the spring of 2027, and to initiate the process of multi-religious witness to mercy for the benefit of the most disadvantaged on the islands of Flores, Lombok and Bali.
It is a platform that offers support and encounters for interfaith dialogue and human brotherhood through spiritual or academic research, training by teachers from several spiritual traditions and multi-faith witness.
