Bishopsto forgelinks withMuslimsTHE Catholic and Church ofIreland bishops of Cork haveendorsed a new documentthat aims forge closercommunity links betweenChristians and Muslimsliving here.
Bishop John Buckley, CatholicBishop of Cork and Ross and BishopPaul Colton, Church of IrelandBishop of Cork, Cloyne and Rosshave jointly endorsed the new pub-lication, A Journey Together.
In a statement they said: “This re-source, especially with its firmfocus on the ordinary everyday in-teraction between Muslims andChristians is a welcome contribu-tion to the promotion of mutual un-derstanding, respect and coopera-tion between Muslims andChristians here.”
The 2011 Census recorded thatthere are now almost 50,000Muslims living in Ireland — a 74%increase from 2006.
About 4,000 Muslims live in theCork area, and have become part ofthe community across the city.
Over the past two years, a projectoverseen by a steering group con-sisting of Muslims and Christians
has been working to develop linksthat will help to guide Muslims andChristians living in local communit-ies to be good neighbours, col-leagues and friends.
The project was co-financed byCois Tine, a programme run by theSociety of African Missions, and theEuropean Commission under theEuropean Integration Fund.
The initiative aims to define whycooperation and dialogue betweenmembers of the two faiths is neces-sary here in Ireland.
It also provides practical informa-tion on how members of both faithsliving in our local communities cancome to know each other as, neigh-bours, friends and work colleagues.
The project is the result of a seriesof workshops and meetings, atten-ded by Muslims and Christians.
Sheikh Umar Al-Qadri of theAl-Mustafa Islamic Educational Cul-tural Centre said: “This publicationis an effective resource aimed atMuslims and Christians that notonly in detail explains the import-ance of interfaith dialogue but alsothe most effective and practical ap-proach to it.”
