Celebrate God’s Presence

Riverside United is invited to attend London's World Religion Day event for 2025. For anyone that may not be familiar with WRD, it is held on the 3rd Sunday of January annually, and was first inspired by the Baháʼí community in 1950, but has become a worldwide event since its inception. The purpose of World Religion Day is to highlight the ideas that the spiritual principles underlying the world's religions are harmonious, and that religions play a significant role in unifying humanity.

In that vein, WRD’s theme this year is Unity, and we will be focused on growing to understand the spiritual beliefs and practices that support unity and harmony in the world.

The event will be held on Sunday, January 19, and this year, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints will be hosting the event at 1139 Riverside Drive, London. We will meet at 2:00pm in the chapel, where each faith group attending will be offered 4-5 minutes to either share scripture, words, prayer or music related to our topic. Following that large group meeting, which we hope will last approximately one hour, we will move into the cultural hall behind the chapel, where each faith group may share more about their origins, teachings or perspectives related to our topic, and beyond. We will have tables available for each group in attendance, and we invite you to share pamphlets, information or other traditions, etc, that will help others get to know you better.
