Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Canada will join World Interfaith Harmony Week celebrations starting January 27. A variety of events will be held across the country, covering topics from addressing Islamophobia to how different faiths pray. World Interfaith Harmony Week was first introduced in 2010 to strengthen interfaith bonds and promote harmony throughout the religious world. The United Nations General Assembly states that “mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace” and recognizes “the imperative need for dialogue among different faiths and religions to enhance mutual understanding, harmony and co-operation among people”
