World Interfaith Harmony Week (Feb. 1-7) was established in 2010 by the General Assembly of the United Nations in order to nurture a culture in which people of all faiths can live harmoniously. Within the shared context of love of the good and love of the neighbor, WIHW encourages leaders in all churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and other places of worship to promote inter-religious dialogue and cooperation.
In recognition of WIHW, Mayor Joshua Schlicher has issued a proclamation asking all citizens of Marietta to appreciate the contributions of our diverse faith groups and to work consciously toward harmony.
Listed here are a few of the many opportunities residents in the Mid-Ohio Valley have to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of diverse faiths.
