For many today, the competing claims and convictions of religious commitment lead to division, violence and even genocide. Can we find in the common call to attend to the poor, shared by many faiths, a place from which to build understanding and unity? Leaders from three religious communities, Christianity, Judaism and Islam will form a panel to present their tradition’s commitment to service and grapple with this question.
Tuesday, August 30 · 7:00pm – 9:00pm
