Hi, it’s Amy again. So – success! The declaration was signed, and the atmosphere was great – respectful, with great feelings of wanting to move forward together across faiths, and to work with all stakeholders. Determination and drive. I want to say it’s a great ending, but I think it’s more of a beginning! With this commitment to action, I think that successful change can happen. The commitment was, for many, alredy there, but now, with a feeling that there are others on board, and having heard and discussed such a wide range of issues, listening to examples of good practice and potential models, I think people really feel they are able to go forward. And I believe they will.
The ICCs were great – real fiery, strong presenters! They got everyone in a really positive, excited mood right at the end, making the room buzz with a desire to go forward and make a difference.
I have to go now, but don’t worry – I’ll be back. I am going to India now, and who knows what I will discover about this issue over there! I hope to continue to share with you all!
