Shreveport – Bossier World Religion Day Website Changes

We are moving our website to WordPress (a customizable content management system) that will allow easier editing of website content and easier sharing of content with social media.

Currently, our site is very minimalist but we will be adding new content to it in the next few weeks.

We will also add earlier website content including photo galleries of earlier World Religion Day events.

Thanks for your patience and understanding as we move to WordPress and reorganize our website’s contents.
