Rabata Society organized a program to celebrate Christmas celebrations with the Christian community of Gujranwala on 19.12.2020 at 3pm. The purpose of this event was to promote religious harmony and peace among the community.

President Mr. Shahzad Lawrence highlighted the importance of Interfaith dialogue. He urged that dialogue plays a crucial role in promoting understanding and harmony in an increasingly diverse and interconnected world.

Muhammad Saleem Zahid Chairman of the Interfaith committee emphasized that by engaging in conversations across religious boundaries, we cultivate mutual respect, dispel misconceptions, and build bridges of trust and cooperation.

Mr. Shahzad Lawrence during his speech to the community said this dialogue is particularly significant during times of celebration like Christmas, as it provides an opportunity to share the rich traditions and values those different faiths bring to the global community. Embracing interfaith interactions allows us to appreciate the commonalities that bind us as human beings, promoting a world where peace and unity prevail over division and conflict.

During the Christmas season, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, a time that symbolizes hope, love, and the spirit of giving. It is a period when families come together, communities unite, and we are reminded of the profound values of compassion and kindness. This festive time encourages us to reflect on the teachings of Christ, emphasizing peace, goodwill towards all, and the importance of helping those in need. As we gather to share in the joy of Christmas, let us extend our hearts and hands not only to our loved ones but also to strangers and those less fortunate, embodying the true essence of the holiday season.

The event ended with the traditional cutting of the Christmas cake by the attendees It was a wonderful event for the Christians who enjoyed and expressed their feelings.
