While at the AJC Decatur Book Festival, I was surrounded by a captivating smorgasbord of stalls filled with books of all kinds: from poetry to prose, fiction to non-fiction, and even to religious texts.

I was particularly blown away by the variety of faith systems there promoting interfaith dialogue. I encountered set-ups by Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike.

As a volunteer at the stall set up by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, whose motto is “Love for All, Hatred for None,” I was elated to see this. We are passionate about promoting this slogan through interfaith conversations and spreading a message of peace.

This book fair helped me see potential for a more peaceful world. Who says that world peace can’t start from our dialogues right here in Atlanta?
