“Interreligious dialogue is a sign of the times. It is a providential sign, in the sense that God Himself, in His wise plan, has inspired, in religious leaders and in many others, the desire to encounter and come to know one another in a way respectful of religious differences.” (Pope Francis, Kazakhstan, Sept. 2022) Scottish Interfaith week from 13th – 20th November is an opportunity for Catholics to follow the example set by our Holy Father Pope Francis to reach out to our neighbours and to recognise all people of faith as our brothers and sisters. Recent events have shown how important this is for world peace. Please take the opportunity that week to pray that people of faith might work together for peace in our world and in our country. Interfaith Scotland’s website www.interfaithscotland.org gives notification of the many interfaith events happening throughout the country this week if you would like to get involved.
