KRM Case Manager Semsudin Haseljic addresses an Interfatih Breakfast sponsored by the Center for Interfaith Relations.
The Center for Interfaith Relations (formerly the Cathedral Heritage Foundation) awarded their inaugural Hearts in Harmony Award to Kentucky Refugee Ministries (KRM). The Center's Harmony Awards honor houses of worship, centers and other organizations in Metro Louisville whose programs or activities encourage ecumenical or inter-religious connections. The Hearts in Harmony Award recognized KRM for promoting interfaith dialogue between its staff and partnering church congregations and its diverse refugee clients. Since its founding in 1990, KRM has resettled over 4,500 refugees in Kentucky from over 30 countries, including sizeable groups of Muslim refugees from Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Somalia, and the former Central Asian republics of the Soviet Union.
The Hearts in Harmony Award was presented at an Interfaith Breakfast held on November 9th at the Louisville Gardens. The breakfast was part of the Center for Interfaith Relations' 2006 Festival of Faiths, held November 5 - 11. |
