I wanted to take a minute to let you all know about a new initiative of the Hingham & Hull Religious Leaders Association called "Interfaith Dialogue on Hot Topics". These Sunday evening forum-discussions will be every other month or so for a while, initiated with the hope that we can come together to understand each other better.
From the HHRLA:The Hingham Hull Religious Leaders Association is introducing a new community forum providing an opportunity for interfaith dialogue. The first meeting of the Interfaith Dialogue on Hot Topics, will be hosted by North Street Community Chapel, located at the corners of North and Thaxter Streets, on Sunday, November 4, 2007, at 7:00 PM. The first topic will be Heaven and Hell. Two short presentations will be given by Behnaz Moshfegh, representing the Baha'i faith, and Rev. Gary Ludwig, from the American Baptist Churches, USA, with open discussion to follow. All are invited to listen and share.
(Okay, it's me Jeremy again...):
I hope that if you might come out to these events, you might be challenged to understand and know better our own faith. For instance, do you know what you believe about heaven and hell? If someone asked you what hell was, what would you say? Do you know what the Church of the Nazarene says about heaven and hell? This will be the first subject.
For those who knew about this event before and expected the topic to be "the place of sacred scripture in public schools" covered by myself and Rev. Diane Mix, we've had to postpone this one. Anyway, we'll see you Sunday!
