Religions in Rotterdam swap preachers to promote inter-faith tolerance

 Ecumenical News International 27 November 2001 - Amsterdam (ENI). An exchange of preachers meant to stimulate inter-religious dialogue in the city of Rotterdam has gained city council support for a second year, starting in January 2002. The council voted to extend financial resources for the "Preaching in the Other's Parish" project, as part of a programme of activities to celebrate the Dutch city's status as one of the Cultural Capitals of Europe for 2001. Each weekend this year, from late January until the end of December, one guest preacher has been invited to speak at a different congregation's church, mosque, synagogue or temple. [ENI-0390]
