This week the UN Interfaith Harmony Week is observed for the 10th consecutive year. All over the world people with different religious backgrounds are invited to hold interfaith events and reach out to each other.

The Interfaith Harmony Week is supported by major interfaith organisations, like the Parliament of the World’s Religions and the United Religions Intiative (URI).

Since one of the objectives of the Gamma Tao is to build bridges and create more harmony among religions and life philosophies I fully support this initiative. Last year I proposed to exchange or offer sunflower seeds as a symbolic act during these interfaith encounters. In my enthusiasm I even submitted this idea to the platform of the World Interfaith Harmony Week. 

It was just an idea and not a real event, so it did not qualify.

I still believe it is a nice and simple symbolic idea that could help to increase the awareness of the Interfaith Harmony Week.

Also the interfaith movement needs some rituals.

Anyway, I really hope this tradition will grow.
