Interfaith Harmony Discussion

In keeping with Shababeek’s mission to facilitate deeper understanding between cultures, this year we will host Dr. Amer Al-Hafi for an interfaith harmony lecture on shared human values, followed by a group discussion on February 28, from 12:15-1:15 pm (Shababeek Center, Room 50).

In an initiative championed by Jordan, the United Nations proclaimed the first week of February to be “World Interfaith Harmony Week.” During the month of February there are now over one thousand interfaith harmony events held each year globally.
