The greater Reno community was part of a global gathering to celebrate “the shift in consciousness occurring now.” The 30-hour event from noon Friday, December 21 through 9:00 PM Saturday, December 22 was attended by a number of groups and individuals. Participating from the International Community of Christ were Reverend Gary Buchanan and Bishop Gene Savoy Jr.
Rev. Buchanan spoke on the Community’s perspective of the year 2012, cycles, and changes in the sun. Bishop Savoy participated in a panel of interfaith leaders that included a Protestant, a member of Latter-Days Saints, two rabbis, a Buddhist priest, a Hindu, a Muslim, and an atheist. The group spoke on the topic “How can the religions get along?” Bishop Savoy promoted the fact that “heightened consciousness in the post-2012 world is the only viable way for people and religions to work together and transcend their differences.”
