Multicultural Society

Living in a multicultural and multi-faith society is like holding a burning coal in the hand. Diversity has become the most difficult and controversial issue in the modern world, and the tension between religions has swept our world like a virus. We are blinded with a flood of literal interpretations of all the Holy Scriptures in every religion and culture.
Differences still threaten our relationships not only between cultures and religions but even between groups within the one culture and the one religion. How can we face today these dangerous eruptions which have been occurring in different parts of the world? Education is the most effective way to face the radical, dramatic and rapid changes that take place around us all the time.
