Tables of Shared Wisdom

On October 21, 2025, faith leaders and community members from across Calgary gathered at the Catholic Pastoral Centre for a simple vegetarian meal and a surprisingly powerful lunchtime conversation. Hosted by Bishop William McGrattan in partnership with the Calgary Interfaith Council, Tables of Shared Wisdom: Faith in the Age of Artificial Intelligence invited us to wrestle with a question that feels both urgent and ancient: 

Calgary Interfaith Council 2025 AGM

I would like to conclude with a thought to ponder.   In our society today we value individuality, entrepreneurship, or uniqueness – like sports celebrities, or businesspeople or TV personalities, but when an individual is unique and distinct due to their religious discipline, it is not celebrated, it is mocked.   We must work together to change this paradigm so that we can truly become a pluralistic multifaith society with interfaith harmony and respect.  Let us work together towards this goal with the CIC.
