We Are America, We are the World!

World Religion Day
Sunday, January 18th 3 p.m.
Unitarian Universalist Church of Greensboro
5603 Hilltop Road, Jamestown, NC
(near the intersection of Hilltop Road and Guilford College Road)

Join with your neighbors of many different religious traditions in our Annual World Rel
igions Day Celebration. This year's theme is "We are America, We are the World." There will be music, prayers, and interactive elements drawn from a wide variety of traditions.

The Triad Tapestry Chorus will be among
those who will celebrate the
diversity of
faiths through music.











We also will be treated to music by the Visions of Rapture Children's Choir from the All Nations Evangelical Church.

Traditional Native American flute music will be part of the program, as well as a dramatic interactive reading, a "Prayer for America," and other inspiring elements.

The aim of World Religion Day is to foster the establishment of interfaith understanding and harmony by emphasizing the common denominators underlying all religions. The message of World Religions Day is that mankind, which has stemmed from one origin, must now strive towards the reconciliation of that which has been split up. Human unity and true equality depend not on past origins, but on future goals, on what we are becoming and whither we are going.

World Religions Day is observed in more than 90 nations around the world. It is an official holiday in Canada and several other countries. In the United States, World Religion Day is being observed in more and more communities each year, most often organized by collaboration among faith communities. This is the third annual observance of World Religion Day in Greensboro organized by FaithAction and the Piedmont Interfaith Council.
