Religious unity

Social justice is one such value that can bring together people of all faiths and no faith to join forces and make the world a more just and humane place for this generation and generations to come,” the notification said.
The Seminar will provide a platform for experts from different religious backgrounds to discuss the social teachings of varied faiths, with the possibility of joining forces for joint action in promoting social justice both locally and globally.
This seminar is free and open to the public.
Prior registration is not required although an RSVP would be appreciated for catering purposes. Morning Tea is being provided by Anglican Action. Times listed are approximate.
