User:Bobcornwall/Troy Interfaith Group

Troy Interfaith Group was born in 2005 after a request for interfaith involvement in a National Day of Prayer event in Troy, MI was rebuffed by the City Council. When this request was turned down an interfaith consortium came together to provide an alternative event, held at Northminster Presbyterian Church.

Since that time, the group has expanded its efforts of interfaith outreach to include an annual observance of the International Day of Peace and an interfaith Thanksgiving Service. Participating groups include Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, Hindus, Jains, Catholics, and a variety of Protestant communions.
