This is the second part of my report on the Interfaith Unity Walk in Washington, DC held annually in September.
We started at a Synagogue and went to a Catholic church. From there, we visited a Sikh Gurdwara. I have met many Sikhs before, but this was my first time entering one of their houses of worship. Those who decided to enter had to remove their shoes and cover their heads, which is mandatory when entering a Gurdwara. After listening to traditional hymns, we went downstairs and were served lunch.
From there, we visited a Greek Orthodox church. Like Sikhs, I had met many people from this tradition but had never been inside one of their places of worship.
The walk continued to the Indian embassy and concluded at a mosque, but I had to return home and didn't see that part of the journey. Nevertheless, it was an immensely rewarding experience that taught me about other faiths, while showing that people from different religious backgrounds can cooperate with one another.
