Our Vision

CSPBIRD envisions a society where religious diversity is celebrated as a gift and a unifying force rather than a tool for division. We aspire to build a world where individuals can live in peace and realize their full potential, free from exclusion or discrimination based on religious, ethnic, social, economic, or gender differences.

Our Mission

The mission of CSPBIRD is to promote mutual understanding across religious divides, foster religious tolerance, and encourage mutual cooperation for a sustainable and peaceful society. The Centre’s work is rooted in educating individuals and communities about the common and shared human, religious, and cultural values that can serve as pathways to social integration and peaceful coexistence.

Our Guiding Philosophy

As Rabbi Jack Bemporad wisely stated, “The only way is to understand one another, and that’s the whole point of our Center – to try to bring about better understanding and a feeling that there is some fundamental common humanity that we have to respect when dealing with the other.” This philosophy underscores our efforts to bridge divides and foster interfaith dialogue.

PROGRAM AREAS

CSPBIRD’s commitment to Interfaith Dialogue
Interfaith Dialogue and Peace Building are at the core of the Centre’s work and activities. This involves active involvement and promotion of conversations among the different faith groups in the region. The Centre aspires to be a leading institution by coordinating and promoting honest and sincere dialogue between the faith groups, religious leaders, and all stakeholders. The Centre will also serve as a platform for inclusive dialogue and advocacy initiatives.

Peace Building

Peace Building will form an integral aspect of the Centre’s activities. The focus here is education for peace, which includes conflict resolution, conflict transformation, negotiation, mediation, and conciliation. Peacemaking is not an optional commitment. It is a requirement of our faith. To avoid war and violent conflicts in our day, we must be intent on building peace in an increasingly interdependent world. (UCBC, THE CHALLENGE OF PEACE 1983).
