Catholics in northern Nevada (USA) want to continue the annual dialogue tradition with Jews-Muslims-Protestants-Buddhists-Hindus next year also in Sparks.
Invited religious figures include Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, Reverend V. James Jeffrey, Rabbi Teri Appleby, Imam Abdul Rahim Barghouthi, and Dr. William Bartlett, in addition to Father Durante, who will facilitate the dialogue. This will form part of the Annual Diocesan Conference of Reno (Nevada, USA) Catholic Diocese whose theme will be “Born in God’s Image”.
Interreligious dialogue this time is around the topic of “Laughing With God”, and the interfaith panel will explore some of the humor that lies within our sacred texts and religious teachings. “If we are born in God’s image, then laughter is surely an action of God”, announcement says.
