Building an interfaith community

"What can we, as people of faith, do to respond and to overcome the pressing challenges of our time, such as violence and conflict, and build together mutually accountable societies based on respect and cooperation?"

This is the question up to 30 young Christians, Muslims and Jews from around the world are to explore during a summer seminar at the World Council of Churches' Ecumenical Institute in Bossey. 

 

The structure of the programme includes spiritual exposure and sharing reflection on sacred scriptures as well as lectures and workshops on thematic issues. 

 

Participants should be between 18-35 years of age, well grounded in their own faiths and be positioned to influence the thinking of members of their wider faith communities after completion of the summer course.
