12th
Annual World Religion Day
“Water: Drawing
from the Sacred”
Sunday January 15, 2012 from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Jean Piggott Place, Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West
Join us
for a celebration of the unifying power of the world’s religions:
The entire world recognizes
the importance of water and its necessity for life. Water has
a central place in the practices and beliefs of many religions and
spiritual traditions. It is the purifying and life giving qualities of
water that underlie its place in our cultures and faiths.
What
role does religion play today in humanity's care of water?
As we face the challenge of sustaining the world's water today and for
the future, religions and spiritual beliefs continue to play an
increasingly recognized ethical and practical role. Common values from
world religions can be a unifying force to foster harmonious bonds
between humanity and nature.
Keynote
Speaker:
Louise Profeit-LeBlanc, member of the Nacho Ny'ak Dan First Nation
