Greater Victoria Interfaith Dialogue Project Part II
Part II of the GVID project is scheduled to begin soon. Begun earlier this year, the project is a collaborative effort between the Intercultural Association (ICA), South Island Dispute Resolution Centre and VMS, bringing together people of diverse faiths in dialogue sessions and various activities. Part I brought together those of the Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Bahá'í Faiths. Part II, which is also funded by Embrace BC, will focus on those of the Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist and Unitarian faiths, and will include those of the previous GVID project as well. Stay tuned!
Spiritually Speaking - Times-Colonist Interfaith Blog
In May, the Times-Colonist began the Spiritually Speaking blog with a team of writers (roughly the same faith groups as those represented on the board of Victoria Multifaith Society) and guest writers submitting articles and fielding comments.
Each faith group is taking one week each, on a rotating basis.
Click on "comments" at the link above to post a response and continue the dialogue.

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.
