What's World Interfaith Harmony Week?

In 2010, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the first week in February annually as World Interfaith Harmony Week, with the goals of showcasing the importance of interfaith dialogue among people of diverse faith backgrounds, belief systems, and spiritual practices, and of spreading the message of goodwill and respect for others.

For the second year, Pikes Peak Habitat's Interfaith Build for Unity subcommittee -- a group of individuals from diverse backgrounds and faiths who unite to build affordable homes for El Paso County families -- invite you to join us in celebrating this initiative. This year, our subcommittee decided to focus on the topic of "Building the Beloved Community," a term originally coined by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to describe "a community that includes diversity and allows for tension undergirded by love to lead to transformation to create a community of justice, equal opportunity, and dignity for all."

Check out the various ways that you can engage with Pikes Peak Habitat by putting your faith into action to help us mark this monumental week.
