The Interfaith Group in Chania
The Inter-Faith Group is a forum for people of different beliefs to come together for dialogue in order to promote religious tolerance, understanding and freedom. The group is for those who consider that people of all religious traditions should be free to follow their beliefs regardless of whether we agree with them or not.
The purpose of the group is not to promote any one religion over another, but to come together and to share, listen, and talk about our own individual experiences or questions that we have in order that we might bridge the gaps that divide us.
Members will have the opportunity to present their views on particular issues and topics. Since it is only through dialogue that inter-religious understanding can be brought about, the hope is that this dialogue will contribute to understanding among religions, and ultimately peace among religions will contribute to peace among nations.
At one time the old city of Hania was home to a diverse religious community with 2 Synagogues, 3 Mosques and several Greek Orthodox Churches. However since 1920s this multiculturalism gradually waned In recent years, however, the influx of new residents to Hania by people from different ethnic groups coming to live in Crete has reversed this trend. That is why the time to meet together is now.
The group meets on the last Monday of each month in Hania, starting at 18.00p.m.
