Sunday April 5, 2020
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM At the Retreat House Compassion is a core belief in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. How do our traditions define compassion? How are we told to behave in order to live a life of compassion for ourselves and others? We will explore texts, stories and historical examples from our faith traditions that teach compassion and discuss how contemporary society presents challenges to us as we try to live a life of compassion. Join Sister Eleanor Francis, Rabbi Debra Smith and Dr. Shabiha Sheikh for an intriguing text study and discussion. CLICK HERE for a PDF flyer that you can hang in your church or public space. Contact Rabbi Debra Smith at hineni77@gmail.com Or Sister Eleanor Francis at 973-543-4641 x3 sref@csjb.org. |
