Temple of Harmony in Joliet to host 6th annual interfaith conference

JOLIET – At 3 p.m. July 17, the Temple Of Harmony in Joliet will host its 6th Annual Interfaith Conference on the theme "Attitude Of Gratitude.”

Every year on the eve of the full moon day in July, people from different faiths and traditions gather in the serene hall of the Temple Of Harmony to listen, participate, and discuss a topic that affects our day to day life.

The annual interfaith conference has been successful in bringing spiritual teachers, priests, preceptors, monks, and spiritual leaders from the world's varied traditions like Buddhism, Unitarian, Islam, Zoroastrian, Judaism, Jainism, Sikhism, Christianity, and Hinduism.

The goal of the annual conference is to promote inter-religious dialogue and cooperation in the effort towards cultural and religious tolerance and harmony and ultimately, peace in the world.

This year, perspectives on gratitude and the teachings of the various faiths along with personal experiences will be shared and discussed by the panelists. This will be followed by an interactive question and answer session with audience members.

The temple invites and welcomes everyone from the Joliet community and beyond to come with open hearts and join in this unique opportunity. This event is free and a complimentary vegetarian dinner will be served to all afterwards.
