Les Chemins de la foi interreligious morning on France 2 confronting fear, Digi Mart USA News: France Télévisions will broadcast a special two-part interreligious program on Sunday, November 22, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.
on France 2 and france.tv. Presented by David Milliat, the morning brings together the religious programs of “Les Chemins de la foi” to address fear in an era marked by wars, terrorism, social crises and anxiety about the future.
The first hour, from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., gathers seven leaders of France’s major religious traditions to discuss what to do when fear becomes a political weapon.
Journalists Pierre Haski and Richard Werly open the program with an analysis of a world under tension, and religious historian Jean-François Colosimo revisits the legacy of the Assisi interreligious meeting.
Participants include Antony Boussemart, co-president of the Union bouddhiste de France; Chems-Eddine Hafiz, rector of the Grande Mosquée de Paris; Haïm Korsia, Grand Rabbi of France; Bishop Ihor Rantsya, Ukrainian Greek Catholic bishop; Bishop Syméon Cossec, auxiliary bishop of the Orthodox churches; Christian Krieger, president of the Fédération protestante de France; and Bishop Benoît Bertrand of Pontoise. The broadcast is presented as a symbolic echo of the 1986 Assisi gathering convened by Pope John Paul II, which brought together leaders of the world’s major religions to pray and speak for peace.
From 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., the second part turns to the question of why people feel fear and how to move beyond it.
Journalist Sébastien Bohler, a neuroscience specialist, and philosopher Laurence Devillairs examine what fear reveals about people and how it can be overcome.
The program then features personal testimonies, including a Christian refugee from Iraq and an Orthodox refugee from Ukraine describing rebuilding after war, Buddhist and Protestant meditation retreats addressing intimate fears, and reflections from a Catholic, a Muslim and a Jew on humor, dialogue and memory. Five guests respond to these accounts in the studio.
The broadcast follows an interreligious meeting in Metz two months earlier during a visit by Pope Leo XIV. “Les Chemins de la foi” is one of the longest-running programs on French television and airs religious services, documentaries and debates each Sunday morning.
The organizers present the central message as one in which religions offer no ready-made solution to fear but do offer paths for getting through it.
