TIA-PA Organizes Commemoration of America's Diversity on the Eve of 9/11
On Thursday, September 10, 2009, the eve of the eighth anniversary of the events of September 11, 2001, The Interfaith Alliance of Pennsylvania will convene an interfaith commemoration at St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral, 221 North Front Street in Harrisburg. That evening at 6 pm, Central Pennsylvanians of all religious and philosophical perspectives will join to acknowledge "The Challenges and Opportunities of America's Diversity."
Members of many faiths will participate. This year, September 11 falls within the Muslim Holy month of Ramadan. Throughout the month of Ramadan, Muslims generally fast during daylight hours. Following the ceremony that evening we will be joining with Muslim participants as they break their fast. The public is cordially invited to attend both the Commemoration and the following Ramadan Break-the-Fast dinner at St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral.
