On Sunday, 15 January 2023, I played three songs at World Religion Day in Dublin - an interfaith event that takes place every year to promote understanding and universal friendship. The event was was organised by Dublin City Interfaith Forum (www.dcif.ie/) and hosted at the National Irish Bahá'í Centre where representatives of the Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh and Bahá'í communities of Ireland came together to share readings, prayers and reflections on the theme of 'One People, One World', and to break bread together. The keynote speaker (seated beside me in the video) was Professor Philip McDonagh, Director of the Centre for Religion, Human Values, and International Relations at Dublin City University, who gave a deeply thought-provoking talk on human values and the role of religion in today's world.
