Is LCOF trying to say all the religions are the same and we are all one? Print E-mail

From the aims and objectives of LCOF it can be clearly seen we are here to open spaces on dialogue and try to understand our differences and focus on our strength. LCOF sees its members as a 'fruit salad' and not a 'cocktail' where each and every individual person enriches diversity of human beings by being unique. Difference is a strength when taken positively which leads to expansion and creativity towards a better society.

Again from our aims and objectives, we are about bringing faiths and cultures together in friendship and not a regulatory body.

From time to time, as and when needed, LCOF offers advisory support to the local council.
