Lucknow, 2 August
: The three-day International Interfaith Conference organized by City
Montessori School, Asharfabad Campus was inaugurated this evening at CMS Kanpur
Road auditorium. Chief Guest, Mr Danish Azad Ansari, Minister of State for
Minority Welfare, UP, inaugurated the function by lighting the lamp of religious
unity. Addressing the gathering on this occasion, Mr Ansari said that CMS is promoting
the feeling of brotherhood in society. This CMS initiative to unite all the
world's religions on a common platform for discussion is truly unique. Such events serve as powerful platforms for
promoting mutual trust among religious communities. The International
Interfaith Conference is being held from August 2 to 4 at the CMS Kanpur Road
auditorium, featuring esteemed religious scholars and visionaries from Egypt,
the USA, Lebanon and various states of India. This information was given by the
Public Relations Officer of CMS, Mr Rishi Khanna.
Earlier, the participating
scholars and religious leaders met the media persons in a press conference held
in the afternoon and shared their insights on the objectives of the Interfaith
Conference. They emphasized that religion should not be a source of conflict
but rather a topic for dialogue, highlighting the urgent need to educate
children about this truth. The scholars noted that disputes and conflicts over
religious differences often dominate headlines. Yet today, as representatives
of various faiths unite for religious harmony and dialogue, this gathering
deserves equal prominence in the media.
At
the inaugural ceremony, welcoming the Chief Guest and other eminent
personalities from various countries, CMS Manager, Prof. Geeta Gandhi Kingdon
said that education remains
incomplete without religion because it teaches us values for life and leads to
our spiritual progress. Respect for all religions is deeply ingrained in the
ideology of CMS. I am sure that this conference will inspire students and the
younger generation to work for social development in an environment of unity
and peace and teach them to respect all religions. Convenor of the
International Interfaith Conference and Principal of CMS Asharfabad Campus, Mrs
Trapti Dwivedi expressed her confidence that the Conference will be
successful in creating a climate of religious unity, understanding, and
brotherhood. On this occasion, CMS students presented a series of vibrant
educational-cultural items in honour of the delegates from various countries.
