2014 Festival of Faiths
                                                                Sacred Earth, Sacred Self
                                                                Interfaith Service: A Call to Prayer
                                                               
                                                                May 13, 2014 – 5:30pm
                                                                Cathedral of the Assumption

In this Service, all people of faith are called to prayer through the universal language of music.  Participating during the Service will be The River City Drum Corps, the West Louisville Boys and Girls Choirs, and young Hindu dancers, students of Akila Iyer.  In addition, participants include a quartet from the choir of the Cathedral of the Assumption, a choir from The Temple, and a duo representing the Baha’i faith.  The Islamic Call to Prayer will be chanted, as will a Buddhist prayer, with monks employing the long horn, cymbals, and bells. 

The Service will be preceded by a musical event in Founder’s Square (4:15-5:25) of special interest to youth, and it will be followed by a reception in the Cathedral Undercroft (6:45 – 8:00).  At the reception, desserts will be served, prepared by Gourmet Treasures, a catering service established by women refugees now residing in Louisville in their effort to become self-supporting.  Both at the Pre-Service event in Founders Square and at the reception, interested youth can learn about an opportunity to study music free-of-charge through an organization called AMPED, Academy of Music Production Education and Development.  In this initiative, AMPED is supported by New Legacy and Level Seven Recording Studios, along with many local musicians, including Allison Cross and Jibriyll Izsrael.

 In accord with the theme of the Festival, pins reading “I’m sacred, and you are too” will be distributed to all in attendance.  Everyone is welcome to attend.
