Interreligious Activities and Initiatives

ESTABLISHING INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE INFORMAL ACTIVITIES AT CONSOLATA CATHOLIC PARISH.
This project aimed at establishing interreligious dialogue informal activities among Indigenous people at Consolata Catholic Parish in Boa Vista-Brazil. The project was inspired by an interreligious perspective of mutual respect and harmonious living among the indigenous migrants from Venezuela – “Waraos”, “Karina” and “Enepa” as well as the “Macuxi” from Brazil. For that to happen and reach its goal we had to engage and reach out some political leaders, policy makers, religious leaders, religious institutions and community leaders. We had an opportunity to listen to the needs and concerns of indigenous communities. The initiative also aimed ate enabling all participants to know each other, hence to establish dialogue aiming at fostering and bringing people together despite of their religious and cultural diversities.
