Annual Events
World
Religion Day - The National Spiritual Assembly (of the Baha'is of
the United States of America) instituted an annual World Religion Day
to be observed publicly by the Baha'i Communities wherever possible
throughout the United States (est. 1949). The Third Sunday of January
each year has been designated for this celebration. - 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 history of man's cultures and civilizations is the history of his
religions. Nothing has such an integrating effect as the bond of common
Faith. Thus, through World Religion Day observances, dedicated towards
encouraging the leaders and followers of every religion to acknowledge
the similarities in each of our sacred Faiths, a unified approach to
the changes that confront humanity can be agreed upon and then applied
on an ever-expanding scale to permeate the very psyche of mankind, so
that it can be made to see the whole earth as a single country and humanity
its citizenry.
