Bangkok, Thailand, Jun 20, 2013 / 01:15 am
Local Catholic children in Bangkok participated in fellowship with other faith groups to foster inter-religious dialogue and peaceful relationships among different communities.
The group contained members of diverse faith backgrounds, including Buddhists, Muslims and Catholics, as well as their religious leaders.
The encounter program was organized under the leadership of Fr. Anucha Chaowpraeknoi, chaplain of the Catholic Office for Emergency Relief and Emergency Thailand, in collaboration with the Moral Promotion Center of the Royal Thai Government.
Fr. Chaowpraeknoi told CNA that "through this, we aim to explore the ethics of traditions in other religion and impress on the young minds a sense of common good, thus developing their moral values of fidelity and honesty."
