Inaugural Surrey Interfaith Council Meeting

Lady Janus and I attended the first meeting as representatives of our Order to help shape a Surrey Interfaith Council today. It was held at the new City Centre Library in Surrey and facilitated by members of the Progressive Intercultural Community Services Society (PICS). The managing editor of The Miracle newspaper was there participating and taking photos. Besides us, representatives from many different spiritual paths were there, including the Unitarians, Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus, First Nations, and Bahai, to name just a few. Staff Sergeant Paul Poloz of the Surrey RCMP was in attendance and told us he’d heard of the Order from feedback after our service for the South Fraser Unitarian Congregation on 6 November. He wants to use us as a resource for the RCMP. I had several people come up to us and comment on how much they were impressed with that service. Well done to all involved!

The group explored terms of reference and I was impressed with how much commonality there was between the delegates. The next meeting will occur in late January, and we will be there.

In Her Service, Kerr
