Interfaith Forums 2007

16 'Izzat 164 B.E. - Sunday, September 23, 2007 about 12:13 AM PDT

It's that time of year again, when The Interfaith Council of Southern Nevada hosts the Interfaith forums. On Saturday, September 22, we received the fly about this years forums. The topics for the panel discussion sound interesting and educational.

1. Religion: Peaceful or Violent? - October 14
2. Spiritual Stories from My Religion - October 21
3. Is There A Spirituality of Money? - October 28
4. Eco-Spirituality - November 4

The discussions are being held at various locations through out the Las Vegas valley. Since these forums are held at different places of worship, it is a good chance to see various houses of worship. These forums enhance a person's understanding and respect for other religions and beliefs.

Each of the panelist prepares a short talk on the topic. There is a question and answer period in which audience members can ask questions and the panelists answer. The questions are submitted in written form and are divided into questions for specific panelists or for the entire panel. As many questions are answered as possible during the time allotted for this. After the discussion there are usually some type of refreshments.

I attempt to attend the panel discussion every year. I'm planning on attending this year as well. Clicking on the title of this entry will redirect you to the Council's Web site and more information about the forums.
