Tapping Into God: An Interfaith Experience

In 2017, author Debbie Belmessieri had a vision of taking her acclaimed book and making it into a video series. Join the author for a very special preview of the “pilot” for TAPPING INTO GOD: an
Interfaith Experience. Each episode features two respected leaders from two totally different faith
traditions meeting for the very first time on camera. Together, they explore each other’s perspective
and seek to find common ground.

“Episode 1” features Dr. David Brown of the Mormon Church and Imam Ahmad Salman of the Bay
Area Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Mosque.

Tickets are FREE (available through Eventbrite) but donations are encouraged after the screening. The book will also be available for sale.

SiVIC Leaders Forum: Freedom of Religion

Freedom of Religion – under attack throughout the world and even in the United States

Religious Freedom has been under attack all around the world and even here at home. For our first Leaders Forum of 2017, SiVIC will hold a panel discussion on the importance of freedom of religion for a democracy to exist and thrive and for an economy to thrive, and how we can foster freedom of religion within our faith groups. We will then open the discussion to all attendees.

Panel:

  • Moderator, Garth Pickett, SiVIC board member
  • Pat Mack, multistate public affairs co-director, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
  • Randy Mack, multistate public affairs co-director, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
  • Mahmut Altun, SiVIC executive board member, Pacifica Institute, Sunnyvale, CA.

Lunch: bring your own sack lunch but bottled water and light refreshments will be provided.

The church is located at the corner of freeway 680 and Scott Creek Road exit going east. Park in the south parking lot, closest to Scott Creek Road. Enter the door on the right within the entrance patio. The SiVIC sign will be on the door and directional signs will be in the building to direct to the meeting room.
