Dear Peacemakers and Friends,
Greetings of peace!
I am pleased to inform you that over the past four years the Peacemakers’ Circle has been engaged in building relationships of mutual respect, understanding and cooperation among Muslims and Christians in four grassroots communities in Metro Manila, namely: Baranggay 188 in Tala, Caloocan City; Salam Compound in Culiat, Quezon City; Maharlika Village in Taguig City; and Quiapo in Manila.
Our efforts in those communities have resulted in the creation of a Muslim-Christian Peacemakers’ Association in Tala, Caloocan City and a United Muslim-Christian Peacemakers’ Association in Quiapo, Manila. A six-month feeding program for malnourished Muslim children is about to be launched in Maharlika Village in Taguig City in partnership with the St. Joseph’s Parish, and a Muslim-Christian Dialogue Circle is currently being organized in Culiat, Quezon City.
It is in the spirit of dialogue that we at the Peacemakers’ Circle, in partnership with the Australian Embassy, invite Christians to join us in the endeavor of building mutually respectful relationships with our Muslim brothers and sisters in Metro Manila. A group of learned Muslim religious leaders and members of the Salam Compound in Culiat, Quezon City have completed twelve capacity building workshop sessions (based on the teachings of the Holy Qur’an) that were geared toward preparing them for dialogue with their Christian neighbors. We invite you to support their efforts and join them in a Muslim-Christian Dialogue and Friendship Circle!
For those who are interested, please attend an intra-Christian workshop in preparation for dialogue and friendship-building with Muslims in Culiat.
