ING Interfaith Speakers Bureau Happy Hour & Training
November 10, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Join Islamic Networks Group on Thursday, November 10th for alcohol-free drinks and to learn more about the Interfaith Speakers Bureau! ING’s Interfaith Speakers Bureau (IFSB) is looking for speakers representing the Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, or Muslim religion. ING’s interfaith speaker training prepares you to speak and educate about your religion on panels in schools, colleges, community centers, faith-based organizations, and other venues.
The Interfaith Speakers Bureau currently includes representatives of the Islamic, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu religions. In addition to sharing a brief overview of their respective faiths, ING Interfaith speakers are trained to speak on a variety of contemporary topics, including “Living the Faith in the SF Bay Area,” “Shared Values Between Faiths,” and Contemporary Issues such as “Pluralism” and the “Separation of Church and State.” Additionally, the Jewish-Muslim panel addresses common issues related to living as religious minorities in the United States.
