Havens in a Hectic World: Finding Sacred Places with author Star Weiss took place 3:00 pm, Sunday, June 14, 2009 at the UVic Interfaith Chapel, with 45 attending.
"With a wide spectrum of British Columbians, from prison inmates to cloistered nuns; from artists to First Nations Elders, Star Weiss uncovers and discusses the diverse meaning of sanctuary in our society. From a mountain peak to an ancient village, from the Ismaili Jamatkhana in Burnaby to Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, each sacred place leads to a deeper inquiry: How can we find sanctuary in a world defined by productivity and efficiency? Where can we seek refuge?"
Our
mission is:
-
To foster an environment of trust
between people of different faith traditions, where
open and respectful dialogue can take place;
-
To promote collective and
co-operative action that fosters intellectual
understanding and social interaction;
-
To facilitate
the practical application of wisdom
arising from each faith group.
.
The
Board of the Victoria Multifaith Society is composed of
members of various faith groups who do not represent their
respective faith groups, but rather have come together as
individuals who practice a certain faith, thereby bringing
to the table a multi-faith perspective.
