This offering of SACRED SPACES is a full day guided visit to a Sikh temple, a mosque, a synagogue, and an orthodox church in Greater Vancouver. The focus will be on broadening our knowledge and understanding of different faith traditions, and building relationships between peoples of our multicultural, richly diverse society. With the ongoing reception of refugees and immigrants to Greater Vancouver, and in the spirit of bridging the divides, the SACRED SPACES Tour is being offered as an opportunity to dispel myths and misconceptions that give rise to fear, polarised worldviews, hatred, and violent extremism. This critical time calls for a greater awareness, understanding and appreciation of our neighbours.
