World Religion Day 2012
January 16th 2011
The aim of World Religion Day is to promote inter-faith understanding and harmony. Through a variety of events held around the globe, followers of every religion are encouraged to acknowledge the similarities that different faiths have.
There are many ways of getting your school involved, from whole school assemblies to class workshops.
Children can learn to make the head of the Buddha in relief with clay workshops, learn about the Jewish sabbath and customs from a Rabbi or explore the roots of Buddhism and learn meditation techniques through arranging workshops to bring this day to life in your school.
If you would like to discuss workshops or have an idea in mind you would like us to source for you, simply get in touch either online or on 0781 377 9591 and we will be happy to help!
GOD'S GARDEN
by Robert Kogan and Mary Sullivan
The flowers in God's garden
Are many different hues,
From shades of white to brightest red,
With yellows, greens, and blues.
How sadly uninspiring
If each one looked the same,
And every flower planted
Had to share a common name.
Each flower bears a fragrance
That stands alone as sweet,
But blends to make the garden
Aromatically complete.
The people in God's garden
Have many facets too.
Fat or thin or rich or poor,
Islamic, Christian, Jew.
So why not take a lesson
From the Gardener's own hand
And learn to live in harmony
So all can understand ...
God's love is not a secret
It's etched upon each face.
The people garden is but one
The budding human race.
