“A space in which people can somehow connect with God without knowing him and before being introduced into his mystery” (Pope Benedict XVI, December 2009): these were the words that caused the “Courtyard of the Gentiles” to be created.
The Courtyard, a structure within the Pontifical Council for Culture, is an ambit for research and above all an ambit for dialogue and a comparison of ideas between believers and non-believers in the context of today’s world.
