WORLD FELLOWSHIP OF INTER RELIGIOUS COUNCILS

World Fellowship of Inter-Religious Councils-WFIRC-was registered as an interfaith body, back in 1983. In 1981 three interfaith friends -Mr. M.K.K.Nair, Adv. P.K.Shamsuddin and Fr. Albert Nambiaparambil cmi, formed themselves as an ad hoc committee with the aim of organizing a World conference of Religions in Kochi Kerala, India. This Conference was planned to mark the tenth anniversary of the foundation of Chavara Cultural Centre, the tenth year of the world conference of Religions in Shasthamkotta, Kerala , the 15th century of the Hijra and the 150th year of the foundation of the CMI(Carmelite) Congregation. The Conference of Religions was organized in Chavara Cultural Centre, Kochi, from the 15th to the 21st of November 1981 on "Religion and Man". As a follow up to this Meet, in 1983 WFIRC was founded.

Dear friend,
Let me share with you my humble thoughts of initiating Inter religious Harmony Clubs and Peace Education in our schools and colleges. I am sending you the CONCEPT NOTES of HARMONY CLUBS. I would really appreciate your comments and creative suggestions. I believe that it is the right time to educate our children To BE FAITHFUL to their religion and To RESPECT other Religions, To ACCEPT friends of all religions and To APPRECIATE and CELEBRATE the differences without loosing their own identity, uniqueness and Faith.
