More than 10 groups shared music and dances expressing their sacred beliefs and represented Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish and Native American belief systems at the “Sacred Music Evening: Many Faiths, One Family” concert, reported ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
The concert is an annual event sponsored by the Salt Lake Interfaith Roundtable. The roundtable’s roots go back to the 2002 Olympics when nearly four dozen faith leaders came together to fulfill the Olympic Charter requirement to provide religious support for athletes and families participating in the Olympics. The leaders decided to keep the roundtable beyond the Olympics. The group hosts interfaith service projects and a variety of activities and events aimed at increasing understanding and broadening perspective.
