Hi everyone,
I am a Christian from Saudi Arabia who moved in and out many faiths. The attacks on Synagogues that have been taking place during the war bothered me immensely and I thought something should be done about religious intolerance. In my new church, I spoke to the pastor about possibly doing demonstrations in front of any Synagogue that gets attacked. They are not opposed to the idea, but we need to organize greater numbers. I then had the idea of creating a charitable organization that organizes events to have a conversation (not debate) between faiths/sects that have tension these days between them. The initial name we have in mind is “Progressive Voices”. I would like to bring about peace, harmony and co-existance between faiths/sects, starting in Canada and then moving to the rest of the world by giving progressive religious voices a chance to converse openly with a moderator present. And also voice concerns when hate crimes takes place.
Do you have any suggestions, ideas, or even propose Jewish voices to host? A Muslim lawyer already agreed to help me found the NGO. I convinced an imam and a pastor to support the initiative. I am just building up support.
