IRE Honoured with Gutekraft Prize for 15 Years of Interfaith Dialogue in Essen
The Initiative Circle of Religions in Essen (IRE), fostering interfaith dialogue and cooperation for 15 years, was honoured with the first Gutekraft Prize on Sunday, September 21. This dedicated group, comprising representatives from six religious communities, was awarded at the UNESCO World Heritage site in Essen, with Mayor Thomas Kufen in attendance.
The Gutekraft Prize, established by the StrongGood Foundation, aims to highlight and strengthen positive initiatives. IRE's work, bringing together people to speak not as individuals but as delegates of their respective faiths, has made a significant impact on the city's religious landscape. The award ceremony marked a milestone in IRE's journey, recognising its commitment to promoting understanding and unity among different faiths.
The exact founding date of the Circle of Religions in Essen remains unclear, but its influence has grown steadily over the years. The initiative has become a beacon of harmony, fostering respectful dialogue and collaboration among diverse religious communities.
The Initiative Circle of Religions in Essen continues to serve as a model for interfaith cooperation. Its receipt of the Gutekraft Prize underscores the importance of its work in promoting unity and understanding among different faiths. As it looks ahead, IRE remains dedicated to its mission, striving to make Essen a stronger, more cohesive city through the power of dialogue and mutual respect.
