A delegation from Dublin City Interfaith Forum and the Northern Ireland Interfaith Forum met recently with officials in the Department of the Taoiseach to share thoughts about the significance of faith communities in building inclusive citizenship in a rapidly changing Ireland.

The faith representatives were from the Bahá’í faith, the Church of Ireland, the Romanian Orthodox Church, the Soto Zen Buddhist Association, the Sikh Community Ireland, the Religious Society of Friends and the Vedic Hindu Cultural Centre of Ireland.

The Religious Society of Friends was represented by Niamh Hardiman of Churchtown Meeting (front row on the left).
