Their theological expertise also helps in shaping the interfaith understanding among members of various communities. Members also want to learn from the experiences of CCs around the world—one of their main objectives in inaugurating a URI unit in their neighborhood.
Thalavoor is a remote area where there is a large population of Hindus, Christians and Muslims. It is a conflict prone center, where the presence of this CC is desired to foster lasting peace and harmony. Thalavoor Pooram (festival of lights)—a celebration the Fellowship partakes in—is very famous and attracts thousands of people every year. These events expose people to the mission of this CC, where the model they bring through educational training, humanitarian aid, interfaith seminars, and poverty eradication greatly impacts the community and beyond.
