Celebrating Interfaith Culture
Sponsored by Islamic Supreme Council of Canada www.iscc.ca Friday, February 1st, 2014 6:30pm 6680 Campobello Road, Mississauga ON This event is part of the United Nations World Interfaith Harmony Week. The World Interfaith Harmony Week provides a platform—one week in a year—when all interfaith groups and other groups of goodwill can show the world what a powerful movement they are. The thousands of events organized by these groups often go unnoticed not only by the general public, but also by other groups themselves. This week will allow for these groups to become aware of each other and strengthen the movement by building ties and avoiding duplicating each others’ efforts. It is hoped that this initiative will provide a focal point from which all people of goodwill can recognize that the common values they hold far outweigh the differences they have, and thus provide a strong dosage of peace and harmony to their communities. |
