International Day of Peace, September 21, 2022 – What Tysons Interfaith is Doing to Support It (Part 4 in a Series)

Over 40 years ago the United National General Assembly established the International Day of Peace. In 2001 they unanimously clarified the day as being dedicated to strengthening the ideals of peace among all nations and peoples of the earth.  This year’s Day of Peace theme is End Racism. Build Peace

With all the serious challenges to peace around the world, and right here in the US, Tysons Interfaith will highlight the 2022 International Day of Peace (September 21, 2022) with a continuation of our Oneness of Humanity series.

The Oneness of Humanity series began in the summer of 2020, when Tysons Interfaith hosted an on-line discussion about the concept of the “Oneness of Humanity,” and what it means from different faith traditions.  In the ensuing months, we also explored “Since we are one, how do we deal with race?” and “Do you feel a call to take action (to build an equitable society)?”  The series has continued since 2020, exploring topics of common interest to people of all faith traditions and spiritual practices.

The title of our September 21, 2002 Oneness event is:  Building Peaceful Communities, Promoting Mutual Respect:  A Call to Action.  The event will be held on Zoom from 7:00 – 8:30 pm, and will be facilitated by Dara Feldman, an educator, international speaker, author and founder of Virtues Matter. We will explore learning language and practical skills to promote peace, and how to recognize virtues in others to build/repair relationships and foster mutual respect.  We hope you will join us!
