interfaith prayer
Cross-tradition spiritual gathering
Interfaith prayer is prayer involving participants from different religious traditions, either praying together or taking turns offering prayers from their own traditions.
Such gatherings typically occur at civic events, memorial services, or community occasions where religious diversity is acknowledged: The interfaith prayer service brought together Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Hindus.
The practice sometimes draws criticism from religious conservatives who consider joint worship with other faiths inappropriate.
