The Unity in Diversity Interfaith Event took place in Cork City Hall on the 22nd of January 2010.  It was organised by Cois Tine as part of the on-going implementation of the “Connecting Communities, Cork City Integration Strategy 2008 – 2011” which seeks to “positively challenge discrimination and promote an inclusive, intercultural city in which all are valued.”

Over six hundred people gathered to listen to the concert which formed the first part of the event and to participate in the second part which consisted of prayer shared by members of the Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Bhuddist, Hindu and Baha’i faiths.

Our sincere thanks to all who helped make this event possible.
