MFNN Bangladesh: Fostering Multi-Faith Harmony
At the Multi-Faith Neighbors Network (MFNN) Bangladesh, our mission is to cultivate mutual trust and respect among diverse faith communities. Through civic engagement, authentic relationships, and honest dialogue, we aim to build resilient, compassionate, and flourishing communities across Bangladesh.
Recently, we organized a groundbreaking Multi-Faith Workshop in Dhaka, bringing together faith leaders from various religious traditions to foster collaboration and develop actionable community initiatives. The workshop emphasized the importance of moving beyond dialogue to practical engagement, recognizing the majority faith’s role in religious harmony, and establishing a national multi-faith organization.
Together, let’s build a more harmonious and resilient Bangladesh.
Warm regards,
Syed Moktadir
Director, MFNN Bangladesh
