Embrace Deepavali: Sabah Council of Churches Spreads the Light of Unity

Deepavali, the Festival of Lights, is a time for joy, celebration, and reflection. It's a time to light up our lives, both literally and metaphorically, with hope and positivity. This year, the Sabah Council of Churches (SCC) is taking this message of unity and light to heart, encouraging all Sabahans to embrace Deepavali and celebrate the diverse tapestry of our community.

The SCC, representing a diverse spectrum of Christian denominations in Sabah, understands that Deepavali is a special occasion for our Hindu brothers and sisters. It's a time to remember the victory of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance. It's a time to celebrate the strength of faith and the power of compassion.

A Message of Unity in Diversity

"Deepavali is more than just a religious festival. It's a celebration of human values that resonate with all of us," says Reverend Father Paul, a spokesperson for the SCC. "We believe that embracing the traditions and celebrations of other communities strengthens our sense of belonging and builds a stronger, more inclusive society."

The SCC is actively promoting interfaith harmony and understanding in Sabah. They've organized several initiatives throughout the year, including interfaith dialogues and community outreach programs. The SCC sees Deepavali as another opportunity to strengthen these bonds and foster a spirit of unity.

Shining a Light on Togetherness

The SCC encourages everyone in Sabah to participate in Deepavali celebrations, whether it's by attending community events, sharing festive greetings, or simply spreading kindness and goodwill. It's about lighting a candle, not just in our homes, but also in our hearts, to illuminate the path towards greater understanding and acceptance.

This Deepavali, let's all join hands and celebrate the rich diversity of Sabah. Let the light of Deepavali remind us that we are all connected, and that together, we can create a brighter future for all.

The SCC invites everyone to join them in spreading the message of unity and light this Deepavali!
