2019 Celebration of World Faiths
The 2019 Celebration of World Faiths theme was, Worship for a Wounded Planet and it was communicated through a collection of multi-faith readings from the Assisi Declarations. The Assisi Declarations are a collection of individual calls from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish and Islamic leaders concerning their spiritual relationship with nature and sacred duty to care for it. The program featured Native American songs from the Red Cedar Circle. A Hindu Declaration read by Yolanda Scholler, Jewish declaration read by Sarah Sherer-Kohlburn, Christian declaration read by Maggie Deckard, Islam declaration read by Aun Jafri, Buddhist declaration read by Daisy Yen and a Baha’i declaration read by Chris Gourdine. Plus a musical performance from the Lovejoy United Presbyterian Church.
