Thre is only one day left in 2017, so it’s time to start thinking about your new calendar. We know that the concept of hanging a piece of paper on your wall seems outdated, and that you might prefer to organise your hectice life in Google Calendar instead, but for ease of access the old sheet of paper still comes tops!
Earlier this month, the Lord Mayor of Cork launched the Cork Three Faiths Forum 2018 Interfaith Calendar. Members of the Cork Three Faiths Forum were welcomed to the Lord Mayor’s Parlour at City Hall on Wednesday 14th December for the launch.
The Cork Three Faiths Forum has been meeting since May 2016. It brings together members of the three Abrahamic faiths – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – and seeks to create a space where people of faith can dialogue openly and respectfully, come to a better understanding of each other’s faith, and work together to enhance tolerance, cooperation and friendship in society.
