South Carolina's Interfaith Harmony Month January 2019

I traveled up to Columbia to participate in Interfaith Partners of South Carolina's sharing of Governor Henry McMaster’s formal proclamation naming January 2019 “South Carolina Interfaith Harmony Month.” This was a news conference at the State House lobby on Friday, December 28, 2018. Click HERE to see the video I produced of this 15 minute event. This is the sixth year that IPSC has worked with the Governor's office to obtain official endorsement for the importance of interfaith work.

There are a number of events around the state specifically aligned with this proclamation, for a listing to help you find one in your area visit this PAGE at the IPSC website. Here is a sampling of IPSC President Dr. Adrian Bird’s Remarks:

“We gather here today, as interfaith leaders from around South Carolina, to celebrate the Governor McMaster’s Proclamation of January, 2019 as Interfaith Harmony Month. We look forward to January (and to 2019), with great anticipation, as we continue to build relationships founded in dignity and respect across religious lines.

Why is such a proclamation worth celebrating? Perhaps we might acknowledge with greater clarity the importance of interfaith harmony month by contrasting it with its opposite – let’s call it, ‘Interfaith disharmony month.’  What might an interfaith disharmony month look like?” To read the rest click HERE.
