NEVADA - “Second Annual Inner-Faith Night” of University of Nevada-Reno (UNR) in USA, to be held on February 23, will see major religious groups coming together in dialogue.

Religious leaders to participate in this unity celebration include: Brother Matthew Cunningham (Roman Catholic), Pastor Phil Vana (Protestant), Imam Abdul Rahim Barghouthi (Muslim), Rajan Zed (Hindu), Reverend ‘Jikai’ Phil Bryan (Buddhist), Rabbi Teri Appleby (Jewish), Ben Aleck (Native American Spirituality), Katherine Robinson (Confucianism and Taoism), and Doctor Bradley S. Corbin (Baha’i); which will also include prayers and music. (ANI)
