PBS Representatives Attend Breakfast Meeting with the Cardinal
The chosen theme is “celebrating truth, sincerity, and forgiveness.”
The UniHarmony Partners Manila (UPM) was established back in 2012 to formally implement the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 65/5, which declares the celebration of World Interfaith Harmony Week every first week of February.
UPM is grounded on the goal of attaining “a harmonious Philippine society by advocating inter-religious dialogue as a mechanism for peace.” UPM aims to do this by promoting “dialogue among different faiths and religions to enhance mutual understanding, harmony, and cooperation among people.”
We are grateful for the invitation and opportunity to be a part of this celebration and time of fellowship. We appreciate the building of new relationships and the solidifying of older ones with the different organizations, institutions, churches, and offices present at the event.
