I Call Them Friends, Rediscovering friendship as a fabric of life

The pandemic and its many facets, some terrible and others unexpected, have accelerated the metamorphosis that we are experiencing and in which we have placed ourselves in this book from a place of friendship. The epochal and civilizing metamorphosis will make us friends, will teach us the depth of friendship, will allow us to nourish the senses of friendship and will make us agents of friendship. I call you friends resonates today as a historic promise, as an invitation to walk the path. We respond “call us friends”, “make us friends!”, as a deep desire to open ourselves to the unusual, letting die in peace and serenity that which no longer generates life or hope. Pedro Pablo Achondo Moya (Santiago, 1980). Theologian and poet, academic at the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso (PUCV). Elías González Gómez (Guadalajara, 1991). Philosopher and writer, collaborator in various social and inter-religious groups. His interest is mysticism in relation to world change.
