I can honestly say that I have learned so much about my own faith and practice by looking at it through their eyes. I genuinely believe that interfaith conversation, especially through scriptural reasoning, where each person is free to state their understanding in an environment where nobody is judged right or wrong is one of the greatest tools that we have for global harmony. I shall introduce you to Beloved RC Friend sometime – she feels that working in a predominantly Jewish environment for many years gave her far greater understanding of her Christian faith too. Let the honest sharing commence!

I too was challenged by the speakers and activities at Rose Castle- particularly the making a symbol of being reconciled to my faith. I was very challenged by the habit of ‘forgiveness’ – one I need to work on!
