The Bishops' Committee for Interreligious Dialogue would like to invite you to join us in the spectacular Bute Hall in Glasgow University as we commemorate the 6th anniversary of the historic signing of the Human Fraternity Document by Pope Francis and Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayeb in 2019.
This year, we spotlight the role of youth in fostering faith and dialogue as essential tools for bringing humanity together.
The event will feature inspiring presentations by high school students, showcasing their perspectives on the transformative power of interfaith collaboration and unity.
Held at the prestigious University of Glasgow, this celebration of fraternity will bring together voices of wisdom and hope. Esteemed speakers, including Bishop Brian McGhee and Dr. Mohammad Ali Shomali, will deliver keynote speeches that reflect the enduring significance of faith-based dialogue in building a harmonious world.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of dialogue, reflection, and prayer, as we honour the past and look toward a future shaped by the energy and vision of youth.
The event is free of charge but booking is required - click here to book.
The Path to Peace
“The path of interreligious dialogue is a shared path to peace and for peace; as such, it is necessary and irrevocable.
Interreligious dialogue is no longer merely something expedient, it is an urgently needed and incomparable service to humanity, to the praise and glory of the Creator of all.”
Pope Francis
