About
Bridge is an interfaith dialogue group that works to promote awareness, dialogue, and empathy-building.
​
​We began by doing speaking engagements and workshops with groups at places like Menno Simons College, Winnipeg Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, the Centre for Christian Studies, and the University of Winnipeg Global College.
​
As a group we have recently been in direct talks with other organizations to begin examining how to foster dialogue locally and, potentially, internationally.
We believe engaging in dialogue is the first step to seeing humanity in others.
Our Mission
We are committed to:
​
-
Fostering and modelling respectful dialogue on peace and justice
-
Acknowledging diverse perspectives and intersectionality
-
Involving the local community in Winnipeg and surrounding areas
-
Recognizing the significance of discussing peace and justice on the lands of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples
Our Vision
We aim to:
​
-
Create spaces for dialogue with the intent to humanize the Other
-
Nurture empathy and compassion
-
Develop and facilitate local opportunities for education on peace and dialogue
-
Cultivate a sense of community through shared goals, narratives, and (ideally) food.
