Attending the ceremony was Latter-day Saint Tania Torea. She said, "The Harmony Week award is a reminder that we are all children of a loving Father in Heaven ─ all of us ─ from every nation, creed, and background."
She added, "We may look different, and worship differently, yet there is harmony in our shared desire to love and care for all of God's children."
The prize recognised the WIFC Harmony Week event, which distributed free lunches for almost 200 people in Wellington City. Educational literature and holy texts of diverse religious faiths were displayed. The event provided an opportunity for people to dialogue, ask questions, and be better informed about different faiths and practices.
