The FABC is happy to assist in publicising this inter-faith event:
The first High Country Interfaith Live-in Weekend offers an opportunity for guests from diverse cultural and faith communities to live together in harmony, to become familiar with the life style, family values, dietary requirements and dress codes of each other. Sharing meals, observing prayer times and practiced values will enable the participants to draw common denominators and to accept and respect the differences, what is the basis of harmonious co-existence. . It is also a valuable experience to be able to live under the same roof and share with the speakers of the Symposium, who are respected leaders of represented communities. After event, these insights will be shared with the members of represented communities, enhancing the understanding of each other’s reasons of living the way one lives and the respect of those reasons.
