- International Divinity Day Celebration
- International Divinity Day Celebration will serve as the closing ceremony of the conference. International Divinity Day is a multi-religious and global celebration of any and every human soul seeking to commune with their Creator. International Divinity Day advocates for an individual’s right to exercise religious freedom. International Divinity Day honors the intrapersonal search as every member of the human family sojourns to understand and find comfort in the mystery of God, if their religious or spiritual traditions encourage this, or in their individual expression of being as their ultimate expression of life, meaning, and moral responsibility. In this light, it is a witness to the forging of peace among all members of the human family. International Divinity Day encourages multi-religious dialogue. Through this rich and necessary conversation, ignorance is irrevocably refuted. The concerted efforts of this initiative endeavor to foster global support for prevention and reduction of religiously, ethnically and racially motivated violence – such as violent extremism, hate crime, and terrorism, through authentic engagement, education, partnerships, scholarly work, and practice.
