To celebrate the National Day of Peace, HARC’s Interfaith Team held the second annual Interfaith Progressive Dinner, designed to introduce community members to different faith traditions, building understanding, dialogue and relationships among people of different faith backgrounds. Participants enjoyed experiencing the “flavors” of four different faith traditions through culturally relevant food and short programs, ranging from quiet meditation to lively music and dancing, to evening prayers and dessert at the mosque. Host faith groups included Unity of Hagerstown (new thought), Baha’is of Washington County, Impact Ministries (Christian Pentecostal), and the Islamic Society of Western Maryland (Muslim). See pictures and videos on HARC’s Facebook page. Watch the program portions for each faith group on YouTube.
