Church Hosts Interfaith Tribute

An interfaith musical tribute featuring song, dance, scripture, and prayers from a variety of religious traditions took place on Sunday, February 20, 2011, at the Tabernacle on Temple Square.

A number of events at local synagogues, chapels, Hindu temples, and other locations preceded Sunday’s concert and showcased the traditions of Utah’s religious community.

The Interfaith Music Tribute originated during the 2002 Olympic Games and takes place each February.
