My faith, my community—a dialogue

February 9th, 2012 | Posted by pfmarchive in uncategorized

While various religions may hold differing attitudes toward worldliness, they still have obligations to their neighbours

The Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society will host an  interfaith bridging dialogue called “My Faith, My Community: Taking Action Together” on February 18, 2012. The dialogue is based on the fact that while religions may have a differing attitude to worldliness, they also have obligations towards neighbours. They need to do more to be proactive—to give to the community. The event brings diverse people together for a facilitated exchange around issues of social justice and civil engagement from the point of view of their faith.

We speak with Samantha Letourneau of Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society and with the current chairperson of the Nanaimo Interfaith Community.
