TEHRAN The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said here on Saturday the world is in dire need of morality more than ever before.
In a meeting with members of Iranian delegation to the Conference of Religious Leaders at the Millennium World Peace Summit, led by Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, the Leader said that theological centers are required to present outlook of Islam on various issues relating to the international community.
The theological centers are expected to feel themselves duty-bound to provide the international community with answers to questions on Islamic issues so that they could adopt approaches to dialog and methods to communicate with world peoples, the Leader said.
