Table of Faiths


Today Jan and I attended the annual Table of Faiths sponsored by the Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council. Some 1000 people attended--at the Hyatt-Regency. 15 Faiths were represented: American Indian Spirituality, Bahai, Buddhism, Christianity-Orthodox, Christianity-Protestant, Christianity-Roman Catholic, Hinduism; Islam, Judaism, Paganism, Sikhism, Sufism, Unitarian Universalism, Vedanta, and Zoroastrianism. There was a prayer given by a member of each Faith. It was quite a moving experience. All Faiths must be respected. Who is to say that one is more authentic than another? Pictures of the booths of several different Faiths can be seen on my pictures website: Picasaweb.google.com/larryrsmith8
