- Notes
- "Over the next year, young adults at All Saints' Anglican Church in Windsor, Ont. will get to know their contemporaries from other faith groups through a project called 'One Voice'. This project is one of 15 across Canada to receive a share of $250,000 in funding from the Inspirit Foundation, a charity dedicated to building a more inclusive and pluralistic society in Canada. The brainchild of Remy Boulbol, executive director of the Rose City Islamic Centre in Windsor, the One Voice project received $12,000 from the Inspirit Foundation. It will bring together a group of 15 local people of different faiths, ages 18 to 25, and allow them to 'get to know each other as human beings -- as my neighbour, my friend, my colleague', says Boulbol". "When Boulbol became aware of the Inspirit Foundation and its funding mandate, she invited her friend Archdeacon Kim Van Allen and the youth of All Saints' to support the application and be part of the project. Van Allen is excited about the One Voice project. 'It's bringing us together now', she says. 'If we just sit in our Sunday school rooms and talk about these things, it isn't going to be lasting'."
