In support of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 18—freedom of thought, conscience and religion—the Los Angeles chapter of United for Human Rights hosts a 3-part conference on religious tolerance at the Church of Scientology Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, California, July 19, 2016 (Newswire.com) - The United for Human Rights Foundation of Los Angeles announces a series of conferences titled “Religious Tolerance & Intolerance: Shattering Myths.” The series will be held the first three Wednesday evenings in August at the Church of Scientology of Los Angeles and will include presentations on Middle Eastern, Judeo-Christian and Eastern Religions.
“Most people have heard of various religions, but they admit their knowledge of all but a few is superficial.” says Betsy Davis, Church of Scientology Los Angeles Director of Community Outreach, one of the organizers of the events. “To live in harmony in a multicultural society like ours, it is important to understand diverse faiths so we can fully respect the religious beliefs of others.”
