JCMA Friendship Walk 2016
The Jewish Christian Muslim Association of Australia runs an annual friendship walk around October-November of each year, where you are welcome to join us and spend an afternoon walking together in friendship and goodwill between a church, synagogue and a mosque.See the video from last year’s walk and read what some its organisers and participants had to say as well:
We as a people, share so much in common. A walk, a conversation, a handshake, a smile, a greeting and curiosity for one another’s experiences was shared on this day. This is consciousness at work. Getting out of your comfort zone takes you to your comfort zone, this zoning is better known as understanding the unfamiliar. To realise that we have more in common; than not. Through the act of walking, the ordinary becomes something extraordinary through the amalgamation of commonalities. Put simply, we are all so different yet, paradoxically so similar to each other. Walking is an adjunct to understanding our common ground. – The Albanian Australian Islamic Society
In this day and age of so much misunderstanding, this is a great opportunity to meet with others and maybe learn a little about each other’s faith. I’m looking forward to a day of sunshine, fresh air and friendship. – Dan Wootton, Moderator for 2015 JCMA Friendship Walk
