The 2011 World Religion Day, the 22nd of its kind in North Bay, will celebrate the theme “Growing a Community that Cares: From Local to Global” on Sunday, January 16, 2011 starting at 1:30pm at the Elks Lodge in North Bay.

“In North Bay, World Religion Day strives to bring together members from as many religious and spiritual traditions as possible so that we can learn about each other, especially about those beliefs that we have in common,” World Religion Day 2011 Organizing Committee Member Carmel Rouhani explained.

With an emphasis on common religious origins and teachings, World Religion Day calls attention to the harmony that exists amongst the spiritual principles of the world’s religions, and emphasizes religion as a source of unity. The event in North Bay will feature the Baha’i Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism and Native Spiritual Traditions as well as presentations and refreshments.
