Seychelles Interfaith Council gaining more recognition
06-November-2014
The Seychelles Interfaith Council (Sifco), which brings together religious leaders and representatives of different faiths, religions and religious denominations, is gradually gaining more recognition, its chairperson has said.
Roman Catholic Bishop Denis Wiehe said the council, set up in 2012, is gaining more and more recognition in the life of our society and this thanks to the dynamism of the managing committee.
Bishop Wiehe said this during the council’s general assembly held recently.
He noted that even though membership to the council has not increased substantially, there is remarkable and growing understanding between members of the managing committee all of whom are from different faiths and denominations.
“This is in itself an accomplishment as it motivates and stimulates us to continue our journey together with renewed purpose and determination,” Bishop Wiehe pointed out.
He noted that the main objective of the council is the simple coming together of religious leaders from different faiths in Seychelles.
“This allows us to know, respect and appreciate each other more and more,” Bishop Wiehe said.
