NEVADA: In a remarkable interfaith gesture, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish religious leaders came together in Reno, Nevada, on August 7 to provide a warm welcome to new Methodist and Presbyterian pastors and Jewish rabbi.
According to Rajan Zed, an organizer of the event, this multi-faith reception was held to welcome Reno First United Methodist Church Pastor Kristen A. Marshall, Temple Sinai Reno Rabbi Ethan Bair and Spanish Springs Presbyterian Church Sparks Pastor Howard R. Dotson to the area, who recently stepped into their respective positions. Sparks Mayor, Geno R. Martini, presided over this event.
Stressing the need for interfaith dialogue, Rajan Zed points out that we are all looking for the truth and in our shared quest we can learn from one another and thus come closer to the truth.
St. Anthony Greek Orthodox Church Presiding Priest Stephen R. Karcher provided the invocation while Toni de Salvo of Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd lead “Amazing Grace” and well-known musician Jim Eaglesmith gave a multi-language interfaith number in which audience also joined in. Representatives from the offices of US Senator Harry Reid, US Senator Dean Heller and US Congressman Mark Amodei presented testimonials to the new clergy.
