PANEL DISCUSSION – MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2017
RELIGIOUS PLURALISM IN AMERICA: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOUR NEIGHBOR
The Brookings Human Rights Commission and the Brookings Interfaith Council will host the Community Common Read panel discussion “Religious Pluralism in America: A Day in the Life of Your Neighbor” on Monday, October 23, 2017 at 6:30 pm in the City & County Government Center 3rd Floor Chambers. The panel will consist of community members from various faith traditions who will provide overviews of their faiths and share their experiences in the community. A short question and answer session will follow. Refreshments will be served at 6 pm, with the forum beginning at 6:30 pm.
This panel discussion is one in a series of events in the Campus/Community Common Read program, designed to enhance engagement with the book How Does It Feel to Be a Problem? by Moustafa Bayoumi. In addition to the panel discussion, each week the Brookings Register will publish an article written by one of the panelists. These articles will strengthen community discussion regarding religious diversity by providing a deeper understanding of the panelists’ backgrounds and experiences.
Take advantage of this opportunity to unite with the Brookings and SDSU communities to expand our understanding of and appreciation for religious diversity. For more information, please contact (605) 692-6281 or .
