A reader sends in this photo of a new mural on the side of a business in a main thoroughfare in Sacramento, California. The large painting features a depiction of Guru Nanak (far left), the founder of Sikhism, alongside representations of figures from other faith traditions all on a rainbow background (the color pattern could also be representative of times of day and night).

The Interfaith Association of Central Ohio is celebrating 25 years of bringing different religious groups together in their community: “There is a fear of the unknown,” said Jindal. “If you know each other, then there is no fear.” The organization brings together eight different religions (including Sikhism) and engages in activities in the Columbus area to educate the public and foster respect and harmony among the different faith groups.   That they have done this work for 25 years within their community is inspiring!
