First-ever Rural Nevada Multi-Faith Dialogue to be held in Fallon

First-ever Rural Nevada Multi-Faith Dialogue to be held in Fallon

The first-ever rural Nevada multi-faith dialogue, involving diverse religions and denominations, will be held in Fallon on July 16.

It will involve dialogue among Christian (various denominations), Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Baha’i, Native-American faiths; and even include an Atheist thinker. Christian speakers will represent Roman Catholic, Protestant, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints traditions.

After presentations, diverse religious leaders will be open to questions by the public. The organizers hope to make this gathering an annual feature.

Co-conveners of this multi-faith dialogue -- Rev Dawn Blundell of Epworth UMC and the Fallon Interfaith Group, and Hindu statesman Rajan Zed of Reno -- point out that “peace lies at the heart of all religions. We have more in common than we have in conflict. Despite our very different traditions, honest dialogue among us brings us mutual enrichment and helps us create harmony in the community. We can learn from each other.”

This dialogue event, to be held at 4:00pm on Saturday, July 16 at The Wolf Center, 457 Esmeralda Street, Fallon, Nevada; is free and open to all. Coffee, tea and snacks will be provided. For questions, please contact at 775-423-4714 or [email protected]g

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
