Edmond Baha’is invite community to join in Jan. 19 World Religion Day event, series of interfaith presentations

Edmond Baha’i Faith invites the public to several upcoming events centered around the annual observance of World Religion Day.

World Religion Day was initiated by the Baha’i Faith community in 1950 and serves as a platform for people of various faiths to come together, learn about one another’s beliefs and foster mutual respect and understanding. This celebration will be at 11 a.m. to noon Sunday, Jan. 19, at the Edmond Baha’i Center, 321 E. Campbell Dr., in downtown Edmond. It will feature interfaith prayers, readings and music led by Baha’i youth. A breakfast will be offered at 10 a.m. Jan. 19 prior to the program.

Additionally, the Edmond Baha’i Faith has invited a series of guest speakers from across the Oklahoma City metro interfaith community to present during its weekly 11 a.m. Sunday program in January and February. Each guest speaker will speak about their faith as part of a two-month effort to open more interfaith dialogue in the community. Speakers will represent various religions such as Sikhism, Latter Day Saints, Buddhism, Native American views on religion and more. Check @edmondbahaifaith on Facebook for each week’s featured program.

All events are open to the public; however, no donations are accepted.
