The second in a 3-part series of online interfaith roundtables on how we can shine our light more brightly in an uncertain world.

About this Event

The world’s great faith traditions teach us that even in the midst of darkness, light is always present. From the star atop the Christmas tree to the candles of Hanukkah, the lights of Diwali and the candles of Kwanzaa, we are called upon to remember that Divine Light is in each of us and in every part of Creation. In this dark time of the year, and in times that feel uncertain, it is even more important for us to intensify the Light within us, so that we can see and honor that which shines in each other, despite our differences. Our series continues with "Loving Thy Neighbor, No Exceptions." The topic will be introduced by Christopher DeSanti, a leader of A Course in Miracles and trainer for Gratitude Training, LLC. Then we will break into small "roundtable" groups. In this safe, facilitated space we will share our experiences, observations and responses to Chris' remarks. *his event will be part of WORLD INTERFAITH HARMONY WEEK sponsored by United Religions Initiative’s (URI). This gathering is free with registration. Please join us, and share with friends!
