Tearing Down Walls: Finding a Path to Religious Understanding
Relationships between religious people around the world is one of the most significant issues of the 21st century as ignorance leads to intolerance and even violence. True relationships are more complex than COEXIST bumper stickers. “Tearing Down Walls” is an event aimed at learning skills in interreligious dialogue with the hope of promoting peace through interreligious understanding and cooperation. Nationally-recognized scholars will lead sessions on Friday and Saturday, April 20-21, 2018 at Colonial Church.

Movie Night - April 29
Please join us Sunday, April 29, at 5:30 p.m. in the Heritage Room as we view “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” (2014) starring Helen Mirren. The Kadam family leaves India for France where they open a restaurant directly across the road from Madame Mallory’s Michelin-starred eatery. The resulting rivalry eventually escalates in personal intensity until it goes too far. In response, there is a bridging of sides initiated by the parties involved that encourages an understanding that will change both sides forever. (IMDb) Popcorn and soda will be served. Feel free to bring a snack to share.
