The Interfaith Book Club

Meet kindred book lovers in a local Interfaith Book Club! We will explore the deep relationship between spirituality and the human global agenda. Our goal is to help grow a sustainable, pervasive culture of knowledge, respect, appreciation and trust amongst people of all faiths and religious traditions through literature and dialogue in light of the great events in the world today. Young adults and older from all faiths are welcome.
