The Courage to Connect
The Calgary Interfaith Council is excited to announce our theme for 2024-2025: the Courage to Connect. This theme was inspired during UNWIHW 24 when an enthusiastic and generous group of children from diverse faith backgrounds performed a Readers Theatre version of The Stone Soup, retold as a Buddhist story and illustrated by Jon Muth.
Members of the CIC Board and community were inspired by a message of the story: that it takes courage to connect, to move from isolation and scarcity into community and abundance. The CIC is glad to be offering programming and to support the initiatives of our members to help us all continually move into connection, discovering and embracing our differences and celebrating our common intention to support faith-inspired lives of kindness and creativity.
Join us soon! There are a number of opportunities coming up in the Fall.
- Register for the Communities of Faith Bus Tour
