How Interfaith Communities Can Make Us More Connected
In this week’s show, I discuss how an interfaith project in Montreal, Canada, brought three different religions together to work for a common cause, and how that can lead the way to a more connected world.
In close proximity at a mini-mall, the Al Jazira mosque sits next to the Chabad synagogue, which is situated next door to the Catholic Sainte-Marguerite-Bourgeoys Church.
Instead of staying separated from each other, the three different faiths came together through conversation and genuine curiosity of how each other were doing each day.
That small step of saying hello to each other led to them coming together to support a common purpose — a donation centre for newly-arrived Syrian refugees.
How they made that work is testament to how we can all make things work, despite (because of?) our so-called differences. And if we can come together on a common purpose of helping others, we can come together on so much more.
