The Campus Chaplains’
Association
The Campus
Chaplains' Association at the University of Toronto are horrified and angered by
the heartbreaking loss of life at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec City
on January 29. We express our deepest grief. As leaders of ethical and faith
communities, we are deeply saddened that a place of worship and gathering for
the Muslim community was the centre of violence.
As campus
chaplains, we understand diversity of belief and cultural background as a gift
to our community. Each of the religious and ethical groups represented by the
campus chaplains is searching for new ways to live peacefully with its
neighbours. We commit to walking the path of peace together, in solidarity with
our Muslim students, colleagues and friends. This path is a way forward, in the
hopes that we can build a loving diverse society together.
