Edmontonians of all faiths will come together for Religious Freedoms 2023: A Community Conversation on April 16, 2023 at 2 pm. The event is free and open to the public.

This years event focusses on “Why is Religion important in our Community?” and will feature distinguished speakers including Richard Smith of the Edmonton Archdiocese, Stacey Leavitt-Wright, the CEO of the Edmonton Jewish Federation and Steven Collis, Religious Freedom Scholar and Law Professor from the University of Texas. Each speaker will provide insights from their unique perspective on the importance of religious freedom in our community.

The event will also feature a panel discussion where attendees can participate in a Q&A session with the speakers. In addition, there will be a service project where people of all faiths can come together and make kits to aid those experiencing homelessness in the Edmonton area.

“Religious freedom is a fundamental human right, and it is essential that we have open and honest conversations about its importance in our community,” said Don Jaffray, one of the events organizers. “We are honoured to have such distinguished speakers and are looking forward to a meaningful discussion.”

Religious Freedoms 2023: A Community Conversation will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 15325-53 Avenue
