Germany: Representatives of religions gather at interfaith event to promote dialogue

Representatives of different religions gathered in Heilbronn, Germany, for the biannual interfaith event titled, "The Role of Religious Communities in Society”.

15 members from various religions and religious denominations attended including Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

"The trend towards religion has declined among young people in Germany and they are not interested in religious issues," said Frantis Brandl, executive director of the German Interfaith Forum.

During his speech at the meeting, a member of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, Ahmed Aymer, referred to the problems of Muslims in German society, saying, "Achieving the ideal situation requires a lot of effort, but I believe that interfaith dialogue can help improve the situation."

The religious meeting is held twice a year with the aim of promoting interfaith dialogue.

The event was canceled last year due to Covid.
