Presenting the award, Michael Wakelin, the BBC's Head of Religion and Ethics said ‘In order to create a better society we must learn to understand each others faith and values.'
'Unless we do so we are facing a future flecked with fear and fracture. It is through utilising all media platforms available that we will be able to erode the factions of hate and intolerance and start to engineer a society accepting of difference and celebrating diversity.'
'So let me give my fulsome backing to the purpose of this festival – it is in some ways a small beginning but in my faith tradition small beginnings can grow in to mighty concerns.' |
John Forrest, Festival Director, said “The event is not intended to be a ‘religious' one. Rather it is intended to provide a friendly and professional environment for those of all religions and none to explore, question and challenge faith issues.'
'
We have made a small beginning in terms of the mass, global media but we live in a world where the impact of faith is as significant as ever. Film and media allow us to express ourselves and to communicate with each other. Let's do it!” |
