Most Saturday mornings I have to work so that puts me out for that one.
It might have been interesting but my experience with these kind of "Faith Inclusivity" things is that most from the religious groups go to proselytize and mostly boast, albeit kind quietly, about how their God is bigger than everybody else’s.
The only common ground they find is in their unity against "Our Side".
They are still a good forum for our airing opinions and give the opportunity to reach people we might never have reached before and show that we are not quite the scary Anti-Christ figures some religious people imagine.

I will try and change it and if I can I'll go. Having been raised Roman Catholic, I'll feel right at home ;-)
I have to see if I can change that previous commitment around and If I can then I'll definitely be there. I wont know until tomorrow though.
If anyone wishes to join me, (if I end up being available) let me know and we can sit together and chat with the various people there.
I'll update you all tomorrow when I confirm my availability or not.

Subject: [hamilton-atheists] Invitation to religious-secular day
Date: Mon, 16 Sep[masked]:41:38 -0400
Greetings all,
I have just received an email from a Catholic priest, inviting us to the below event meant to "foster mutual understanding and friendship among believers and non-believers". I am not able to attend but have promised to pass the invite along. Should you choose to go, please keep in mind that they appear to genuinely want to get to know us and aren't out to be "dicks" about it. Be friendly and report back on how it was.
Cheers,
Diana
