The Center for Interfaith Cooperation will hold its annual Festival of Faiths in a new format this year. Due to COVID-19, it will be virtual with both live and recorded performances from a number of the area's faith-based organizations.

From WFYI's Arts and Culture Desk, Jill Ditmire spoke with two members of the Indianapolis chapter of the Soka Gakkai International Buddhist movement.

The 2020 Festival of Faiths celebration of faith, traditions, culture and community can be viewed live on Sunday, Sept. 13 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on the CIC's YouTube channel and Facebook page.
