Celebrating Our Faiths

 

"The beauty of and need for dialogue"

The ACC first conference in it's interfaith program

April 28 ,2003

 

 

Now, more than ever, we need to look at our different faiths and literary celebrate their similarities and differences. According to my humble studies, there are some striking similarities and some interesting differences. In the past, and because of many reasons (ignorance , lack of communication and geographical distances, to mention the obvious) we never had the opportunity to know each other, let alone to appreciate each other. At the dawn of the twenty first century it is becoming not a luxury but a need for us not only to acknowledge each other faiths but also to get together and celebrate.

One of the programs that we have at the ACC is the Interfaith Dialogues whereby we hope to reestablish and  enhance the positive relationship among world’s faiths.

We are planning to have  three sessions entitled “Celebrating Our Faiths " that would be in the following sequence as far as subtopics and times are concerned;

  1. The beauty of and need for dialogue. Spring, 2003.
  2. Our similarities. Spring, 2004.
  3. Some differences. Fall, 2005.

It is my pleasure to invite you to our first conference that will would take place on 

April 28 ,2003
