It was a fine Friday! :D Attended the facilitators' preparatory session of Breaking Walls Building Bridges. It would say it was an eye opener for me to view this documentary- it portrays how Christianity and Islam's leaders (imam and pastor) come together to create an inter-faith centre to unite people in Nigeria. It was indeed a great experience for me, to enhance my knowledge on religion and how religion brings love and understanding eventually despite of many many differences.
It is definately a great awareness that every Malaysian shall learn. For me, i always believe religion brings good teaching, promotes love and peace in the community and most importantly, it brings us together, to believe and to have the faith in God, any God in this context. Sometimes i do wonder, if we were to be a great follower of faith, why do we still fight? I mean, war happened because of religion issue, why? Aren't we supposed to learn how God treat people?
It is also crucial for us to respect one's religion, not to insult any religion and not to push people to the corner to believe your faith. It is always a "call". A call for you to step forward and to believe in it, to follow the words and message in any religion. It is the same across different religions. Mindset of the follower makes a huge difference.
Anyway, it was a great session! Thank you for the speakers who dare to make the first move to create such awareness to our country :) Thanks Dr. Hamidah (a muslim) and Patricia (a christian) for your information :)
