The Ralph
Waldo Emerson Award is given by All Souls Unitarian Universalist
church to the individual or group that most furthers the cause
of liberal religion in the Shreveport / Bossier community.
It is given
yearly at the Sunday service closest to
our anniversary date (April 17). In April of
2001, The Baha'i's of Shreveport, Louisiana won the award for
initiating the celebration of World Religion Day in Shreveport.
Accepting the award was Frances Flournoy.Instead of
the usual Sunday service, the Bahai's of Shreveport gave a wonderful
presentation on the meaning of acceptance in todays multicultural
world.
The Baha'i
musical group HORIZON played throughout the service and filled
the sanctuary with sound and energy.
