Angela's concert in the Tabernacle

Angela sang with the Salt Lake Children's Choir in a concert in the Tabernacle on Temple Square. The concert was given by the Salt Lake Interfaith Roundtable, which was created during the 2002 Winter Olympics to address the spiritual needs of Olympic athletes of many religions. Rick and I attended the Interfaith Concert on Sunday night. It was very inspirational and enjoyable. I read a description in the Deseret News of last year's concert which was held in the Assembly Hall. They were very similar concerts. As we enjoyed the concert, we wished that we had brought our children with us and invited some friends.
In the last couple of weeks I read a talk on that topic given in the 2001 BYU Women's Conference by James A Toronto. You can listen to the talk from this link. In the talk, Brother Toronto quotes Joseph Smith's teachings about our feelings toward other faiths and their beliefs. I found the quotes from Joseph Smith and other prophets that he quoted in the talk to support my good feelings at the concert. The talk also talked about the tensions in the Middle east and thus seemed particularly timely to me with Emily living in Jerusalem right now.
I want to teach my children as Sister Toronto's talk states, to "dismantle the "walls of Partition" -- intolerance, pride, suspicion and rivalry-- by teaching our children to love and learn from our brothers and sisters of different backgrounds, viewing them no more as "strangers and foreigners."
Angela liked singing in the concert. The Japanese drums was the part she liked best of the concert. They were exciting.
