Three “Traditional Faiths” in Dialogue with Today’s “Nones”

Fall Interfaith Dialogue Series

Oct. 16 – Nov. 13, 2019


More Americans are answering “NONE” when asked for their religious identities. Why? What’s happening now? What may this mean for the future of “Traditional Religions” and for society? 

Our Fall Dialogue series seeks to be a frank and respectful discussion among persons who are “Nones” and persons who identify as Jews, Christians and Muslims with projections for areas of contrast, change and cooperation.

 

Three “Traditional Faiths” in Dialogue with Today’s “Nones”

When: Every Wednesday Evening from October 16 – November 13, 2019 from 7:30-9:30 PM.

Where: All sessions will be held at Respect Graduate School, 2200 Industrial Drive, Bethlehem, PA. RGS has ample parking and is handicapped accessible. 

Speakers: Dr. Deborah Appler, Rabbi Allen Juda, Shaykh Mohammad Elshinawy, and more TBA!

Cost: Requested donation for the series is $20.00 per person. Pre-Registration is requested so that we know how much food to prepare.
