The Abrahamic Reunion England will be commemorating World Religion Day on Sunday 20th January 2019
The Abrahamic Reunion England is pleased to confirm that it will be commemorating World Religion Day on Sunday 20th January 2019. This very special event was started by American members of the Baha'i faith in 1950 as a celebration of how our planet's many different religions all share some common beliefs - this is often referred to as the 'oneness' of religion.
The Abrahamic Reunion England organisation now works tirelessly to promote religious unity in the country, presenting at schools, universities and places of worship, and their members also specialise in prison visits to help inmates in their rehabilitation.
Michael Kenton, a Trustee of Abrahamic Reunion England, said: “The Abrahamic Reunion is putting into practice the original goals of the founders of World Religion Day by bringing together people of different faiths to celebrate the essence of their religions.
"This is the beginning of a small note that one of our peacemakers received from a prisoner after one of our sessions. 'Salaam Ya Shaiykh, It was an honour to have met you yesterday. As always it was a wonderful and uplifting experience. I particularly liked the way everything was organised with excellent discussions throughout the whole session. Can't wait for next time.'"
Ahmed was one of the prison staff who also attended this session, and he said, "We have had the Abrahamic Reunion visit both HMPS Springhill and HMPS Grendon many times in the past, and once again this event was well received by the men in Springhill who are already asking when we can have them return."
This latest celebration of World Religion Day is just the latest triumph for the movement that was originally established in 2004, when spiritual leaders from the Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Druze communities came together in Israel and the West Bank and started this growing trend for inter-faith dialogue.
