Two Mount students will share reflections from the national Inspirit conference, and The Parliament of the World’s Religions, the largest global interfaith gathering. Let’s join our voices and hearts in celebrating ‘peace and friendship’ among people of all faiths and good will through song, music, prayer, chants, images, spoken word, proclamation, declaration, and displays.

Taste of Shambhala is the weekly Open House. Follow hearty soup and social time, with an introduction to Mindfulness meditation, plus open conversation about this increasingly respected practice and tradition. All welcome.

The Universalist Unitarian Church, part of the religious landscape of Halifax since 1837, is founded on the idea that people of diverse religious faith or none can unite in community and support one another in the quest to give meaning to life. There will be a special brief service at 7 pm to give an introduction to our faith tradition, followed by a discussion. Coffee, tea, and snacks will be served.

The website includes map, directions, facilities, an overview of worship, outreach, and programming: http://www.cathedralchurchofallsaints.com. There is a clearly visible main entrance along with a marked side entrance for persons with mobility concerns (as well as designated handicap parking). Refreshments will be served following the service. Worshipers gather in a semi-circular worship space in chairs. Visitors are not expected to make offerings.

Enter the prayer hall with bare feet and covered head. Please bring your own headscarf. Shoes and coats are left in the safe coatroom downstairs. In the prayer hall, everybody sits on the floor; some chairs are provided. Langar (communal food) is served to all those who attend the service. Food is vegetarian and prepared fresh in the morning. Langar is an important part of the Sunday service. It provides social time and sense of sharing and seva. All sit on the floor for Langar.

Visitors remove footwear and wash their hands on the first floor, and then go to the main temple on the second floor. After puja (ritual worship), the meal follows on the first level.
