Multi-Faith Celebration of Spirituality and Peace
Noon, September 11, 2007
Tommy Trojan
6 years ago the name of religion was used to not attack a country, but humanity. On the first anniversary to fall once again on a Tuesday, the day of the actual attack, USC's religious organizations will mark the anniversary to celebrate the power of diversity and unity while remembering the tragic events of September 11th. In a week where Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism all celebrate holy days, we will work towards greater understanding and peace in our many traditions
The event is co-sponsored by the Office of Religious Life and the Interfaith Council, with participation from many student religious and spiritual organizations.
