WORLD FELLOWSHIP OF INTER RELIGIOUS COUNCILS ( WFIRC )

For reaching out to the younger generation, we organized programs in association with Kerala Catholic Bishops Council (KCBC), Deepika Childrens League (DCL), Kannur Peace Foundation. Jointly with DCL and Kannur Peace Foundation formed “Harmony” Clubs in Schools and colleges for spreading the message of peace and harmony.World Fellowship of Inter-Religious Councils-WFIRC-was registered as an interfaith body, back in 1983. In 1981 three interfaith friends -Mr. M.K.K.Nair, Adv. P.K.Shamsuddin and Fr. Albert Nambiaparambil cmi, formed themselves as an ad hoc committee with the aim of organizing a World conference of Religions in Kochi Kerala, India. This Conference was planned to mark the tenth anniversary of the foundation of Chavara Cultural Centre, the tenth year of the world conference of Religions in Shasthamkotta, Kerala , the 15th century of the Hijra and the 150th year of the foundation of the CMI(Carmelite) Congregation. The Conference of Religions was organized in Chavara Cultural Centre, Kochi, from the 15th to the 21st of November 1981 on "Religion and Man". As a follow up to this Meet, in 1983 WFIRC was founded.

HARMONY CLUB

I would really appreciate your comments and creative suggestions. I believe that it is the right time to educate our children To BE FAITHFUL to their religion and To RESPECT other Religions, To ACCEPT friends of all religions and To APPRECIATE and CELEBRATE the differences without loosing their own identity, uniqueness and Faith. WFIRC- (World Fellowship of Inter Religious Councils) established in 1981 in Kochi at Chavara Cultural Centre as its Secretariat, is initiating " HARMONY CLUB" in Schools and colleges in Kerala and other States. "Harmony Club" aims at organising once in a month a ONE HOUR program in every school. One Hour program includes, Study of Constitutional values, Interreligious prayers, Readings of Sacred Scriptures, Study of World Religions, Silent meditation, Music, Presentation of traditional dance and art forms, Mime, Skits, Experience sharing, Story telling etc.
