About Communion of Blue Cross and Blue Crescent (CnBC)

The Communion of Blue Cross and Blue Crescent (CnBC), is a non-governmental humanitarian agency that is part of the Blue Cross and Blue Crescent movement and is established as a treaty organization of the Conference of the Blue Cross and Blue Crescent Movement (CBCM).

As determined in the Charter of the Communion, and as mandated by the Movement, the mission of the Communion is to create a new era of interfaith interaction, dialogue, unity and mutual support and respect for the faith of another, and foster a deeper spirit of togetherness in celebrations, prayers and services of thanks. Together, we implement the spiritual and interfaith programs providing spiritual guidance, counselling, and prayer in disaster effected regions, and provide spiritual awareness, education, and hope to disaster vulnerable communities.

The Communion is a interfaith family of affiliating churches, mosques, synagogues, temples and church communities that are interested in positive, cooperative and constructive interaction between different faith communities of different faith traditions to increase understanding and acceptance of each other.

The Communion is comprised of the Church of the Blue Cross (ChBC), the Mosque of the Blue Crescent (MBC), the Synagogue of the Blue Crystal (SBC), and the Temple of the Blue Crystal (TBC).

The Communion, knows only to well that its efforts for peace between nations is only achievable when there is peace between the different faiths, however we cannot expect peace between the different faiths until there is peace between the different Christian denominations, whilst the objectives of the Communion is to bring about interfaith interaction and dialogue, the objectives of the Church is to bring about interreligious denominational interaction and dialogue.
