Inter-Faith forum at Queen's University

Yesterday I along with two other volunteers had the opportunity to go to Belfast for a meeting on world religions in religious education. One of the most interesting speakers at the forum was a father who shared how Bahi children experienced both Catholic and Protestant schooling in Northern Ireland. The question this man left us with was how can schools accomodate children of other religions in a relational way. There was a book launch at the forum as well, the books are meant to be a resource for teaching world religions. Snapshots of different religions are presented throughout the book showing local faces and interpretations of their faith.
