World Religion Day in Redding
The Bahais of Shasta County are comemorating Sunday, January 15, 2012 as World Religion Day.
You are invited to an informal gathering at 2 PM the Redding Library, Community Room A, 1100 Parkview Ave., Redding, CA 96001 focused on Achieving Peace.
Initiated in 1950, World Religion Day events focus on fostering the establishment of interfaith understanding and harmony by emphasizing the common denominators underlying all religions.
“Mankind, which has stemmed from one origin, must now strives toward the reconciliation of that which has been split up.”
“The history of man’s cultures and civilizations is the history of his religions. Nothing has such an integrating effect as the bond of common Faith. The history of religion shows that all religions had this unifying power – the power to instill in the hearts and minds of their adherents the fundamental verities and the vital spiritual standards and thus establish a unity of conscience for motivating man towards founding great culture and civilizations.”
Light refreshments will be served and discussions will revolve around how we can achieve peace through the lenses of our various faiths.
There is no charge and everyone is welcome to attend.
