Over 400 people gathered on the cold, snowy afternoon of Feb. 9, 2014, to celebrate the diversity of our community through song, dance, prayer and poetry. The 4th annual World Interfaith Harmony Assembly, co-sponsored by InterFaith Works of CNY and Women Transcending Boundaries, was hosted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Liverpool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we arrived, their members guided us to the kitchen area, where we added our goodies to the array of refreshments church members had prepared. Before and after the program, people were encouraged to imprint their hands in paint on a banner that would be sent to the United Nations, the organization that established World Interfaith Harmony Week in 2010. The theme of this year’s program was the Golden Rule, highlighting the common goal of loving and respecting oneself, one’s neighbor, and the wider world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
