Welcome to Wyoming Interfaith Network's celebration of World Interfaith Harmony Week 2025!

 

World Interfaith Harmony Week is based on a United Nations resolution calling for a worldwide week of interfaith harmony. The idea was proposed in 2010 by HM King Abdullah II and HRH Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad of Jordan. Scheduled annually for the first week of February, the week aims to promote harmony between all people regardless of their faith.

 

HM King Abdullah has long been known for his peace initiatives and when he introduced the idea for World Interfaith Harmony Week at the 65th UN General Assembly in New York he stated:

 

It is essential to resist forces of division that spread misunderstanding and mistrust especially among peoples of different religions. The fact is, humanity everywhere is bound together, not only by mutual interests, but by shared commandments to love God and neighbor; to love the good and neighbor. . . . we are proposing a special week, during which the world’s people, in their own places of worship, [can] express the teachings of their own faith about tolerance, respect for the other and peace.
