Building Community: Voices of The Faithful
Faith Connection will sponsor a forum in Fall 2019 - "Voices of the Faithful". This program will highlight the perspective of different faiths about their role in public discourse and action on behalf of peace and unity. Most faith communities strive to offer compassionate help to suffering people beyond their doors. Beyond this, what is their position regarding how to address societal problems that affect all of God's children? This forum will provide an opportunity to listen deeply as representatives from different faiths discuss their beliefs, practices, hopes and concerns about this timely question. |
