Nov. 3: Maintaining Religious Values in a Changing Society




A multi-faith public dialogue sponsored by "Bridging the Gap"

When: Thursday 3 November, 7:00-9:00 PM

Where: United States of Mind, 291 West 40th Street Indianapolis

Dr. Sayyid Syeed, Secretary General of Islamic Society of North America, Dr. Marti Steussy from Christian Theological Seminary, and Rabbi Lew Weiss from Clarian Health and Bridging the Gap will engage in a thoughtful dialogue regarding faith in a changing social, political, and ethnically diverse society. As people and cultures become increasingly mobile, they often find many of their religious and cultural values in conflict with their new environment. The Reverence for Life Discussion Series will focus on how the merging of cultural and religious values has strengthened and challenged the Central Indiana community. Speakers representing Central Indiana’s Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities will focus on the challenges of staying within traditional religious values as people and cultures continue to move closer together. A facilitated discussion and question and answer period with the audience will follow. This event is part of the Spirit & Place festival, visit http://www.spiritandplace.org/ for more information.
