Modern Sufi mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan affirmed the unity of all religions in his spiritual teachings, and emphasized the power of music to unite humans to the source of their existence. While he was a Sufi, he espoused that remembrance of the Divine, irrespective of ones religious leanings, was an essential pathway to peace and healing for humanity. We hope our paths converge at this gathering.
"God is one, truth is one, and the religion is one. There cannot be two religions; that is the confusion, the illusion of the human mind. We are expected to unite with one another in the thought of God, in the love of God. ... All wisdom is from God; from whatever scripture, whatever religion, whatever form, it all comes from one source."

— "Religious Gathekas, #39, Universal Worship", by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished))
