SUMMARY:(#41) Speaker Series: The Intersection of Race & Religion [Online Event]
DESCRIPTION:  \nDuring our sixth Speaker Series event\, we will focus on the intersection of race and religion. There is a long history between race and religion filled with both unity and division. Regardless\, these two ideas have always been intertwined\, and this event is meant to explore that relationship. \nWhat role can religion play in unraveling the scourge of racism and white supremacy? Is there room for multiple religions to play a collective role? What are the barriers (if any) to incorporating antiracism in religious teachings? These are just some of the questions I hope to explore during this event. \nIntroducing our esteemed group of speakers: \n(1) Christine Kurg – Member of The Baha’i Faith \n(2) Brian Kurzius – Member of The Baha’i Faith \n(3) Seth Martin – Lead Pastor at Brook Community Church \n(4) Jenan Mohajir – Interfaith Youth Core \nTo sign up and receive ZOOM link\, visit: The Intersection of Race and Religion [Online Event] \n
