Interfaith Spiritual Gathering and Celebration, 08 March 2012

WFWP Ireland honoured International Women’s Day this year by holding an Interfaith Spiritual Gathering and Celebration. The idea was to meet on the level of heart and friendship in order to go beyond the boundaries of different faiths, and to actually bypass the area of intellect and dogma. We wanted to pray together and create a spiritual synergy through joined prayer and different spiritual activities, also to share friendship and enjoy each other as children of God.

We used the occasion of International Women’s Day to serve the purpose of helping to break down the barriers between the different faiths, in accordance with our motto of living by the logic of love.
