World Religion Day Prayer
In attempts to unify the world, not in religious practice, but at least in peace toward one another, the Bahai faith instituted World Religion Day in the 1950s. Still celebrated today, it is traditionally the third Sunday in January, making this year’s celebration in a little less than a week. I invite you to celebrate World Religion Day with me, no matter what you believe/do not believe with the official prayer of World Religion Day:
In striving to recognize the primacy of Fire and Light. I feel kinship with my Zoroastrian brothers and sisters.
In striving to obey the Ten Commandments, I feel kinship with my Jewish brothers and sisters. 
In striving to be kind to neighbor and the needy, I feel kinship with my Christian brothers and sisters.
In striving to be compassionate to creatures great and small, I feel kinship with my Buddhist - Jaina brothers and sisters.
In striving to surrender myself completely to God Almighty, I feel kinship with my Muslim brothers and sisters.
In the recognition that wisdom flows from enlightened masters, I feel kinship with my Sikh brothers and sisters.
In remembering that serving people should be the goal of religion, I feel kinship with my Bahai brothers and sisters.
In my respect and reverence for Nature that sustains us, I feel kinship with my Native American brothers and sisters.
In feeling that these and more are all paths to the same Divinity, I feel kinship with my Hindu brothers and sisters.
In my love and laughter, joy and pain, I feel kinship with all my fellow humans.
In my need for nourishment and instinct to live on, I feel kinship with all beings on the planet.
In my spiritual ecstasy with this wondrous world, I feel kinship with the Cosmic Whole.
