2013 World Religion Day
Please join us on Sunday, 27 January 2013, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Highland Center (520 Olive Street, Shreveport, Louisiana) for our community’s annual World Religion Day celebration.
The keynote adddress will be “Beyond Religious Dialogue” by Dr. David Otto (Professor of Religious Studies and Crawford Chair of Liberal Arts Centenary College of Louisiana).
The event’s panel discussions will include the following:
- Is it possible to do true multifaith worship, and if so, how?
- What is your faith’s position on political involvement?
- What is the role of evangelism in your faith tradition? How do you find, welcome, and educate new members?
This is a great community-building event offering numerous volunteer opportunities — working at the All Souls information table, helping with set-up on Saturday (26 January 2013), and staffing the event concession stand.
Look for a place to sign up in the foyer and contact Susan Caldwell for more information.
