The Interfaith Alliance of Colorado's next interfaith dialogue will be hosted from 6:30-9 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18 at St. Paul United Methodist Church, 1615 Ogden St. in Denver. St. Paul Church is home to a Buddhist/Christian InterSpiritual Community. Read more
The goal of the evening is three-fold: to engage the senses with some of the sights, sounds and tastes from the host tradition; to create a time of learning and sharing about a facet of the spirituality of the host tradition, as well as the practice of dialogue; and, to provide an opportunity for mutually respectful, deep listening and dialogue using a theme that relates to current faith and life. The evening will also feature facilitated, small-group dialogues on important election year issues.
There is no charge for the dialogue and all are welcome to attend. For more information, or to R.S.V.P., contact the Rev. Teena Racheli at revteena@msn.com.
