United Religions Initiative July Zoom call to discuss the interfaith movement in the Bay Area

Please join Jaya Priya Reinhalter for  URI’s July Zoom call to discuss the interfaith movement in the Bay Area on WEDNESDAY, JULY 25th @ 1:30 pm.

Jaya will be sending out a calendar invitation with the Zoom and dial-informaiton out shortly. Please RSVP to Jaya Priya Reinhalter <jreinhalter@uri.org>. If you do not receive the invitation, you can also log into the call at THIS LINK:   https://zoom.us/j/348539949

The agenda currently involves discussing the recent event: “Strengthening a Movement: Uniting Bay Area Interfaith Efforts”. This will be an opportunity for us all to discuss this vision and to hear the insights of those who were unable to join us.  The idea is that this vision will then guide us in our next steps towards strengthening the movement in the bay and deepening our systems of mutual-support and collaboration. We will also have a short presentation from the Interfaith Sustainable Food Collaborative.

Please feel free to email JayaUnited Religions Initiative with additional items you would like on the agenda.

Tolerance, Respect, and Pluralism: Changing Relationships in a “Multi” World

Tolerance of those whose beliefs, practices, or customs differ from one’s own is a minimum requirement for living in the contemporary world, as it becomes increasingly multi-cultural, multi-religious, multi-ethnic, and multi-you-name-it.

The Pacifica Institute Speakers Series presents Rev. D. Andrew Kille, Chair of the Silicon Valley Interreligious Council, speaking on “Tolerance, Respect, and Pluralism.”

Free admission; dinner will be served. Please RSVP at pacificasv.org/rsvp
