The Mandate of the Interfaith Reference Group involves both ecumenical engagement about religious diversity and continued ecumenical engagement with different religions. The foundational work will be in-house engagement with the participation of the member churches focusing on interfaith matter. The group may make contact with different religions, build relationships, and build foundations for addressing common concerns. The programmatic focus of the group is information sharing, education, theological reflection, and building relationships.
The interfaith work of The Canadian Council of Churches is also carried out through an interfaith partnership, which is made up of nearly thirty faith based organizations from across Canada. The partnership hosted the sixth annual Interfaith Religious Leaders’ Summit in Winnipeg in June 2010 and continues its work in coordinating interfaith events throughout Canada.
