Unity of Tacoma, 2102 S 23rd St., Tacoma, WA 98405
info.. 253-383-2684, 253-226-1635
Through the study of world religious beliefs and principles, it becomes apparent that there is much more held in common by global religious communities than what separates us.
Through music, message and meditation, Celebration: Interfaith is dedicated to building bridges of peace through understanding. We emphasize the belief we share and appreciate the diversity by which those beliefs are lived out.
Join us each 2nd Sunday of the month at 6:00pm for a unique experience. Facilitated by Rev. Patty Becker and Rev. David Elliott.
