This monthly series continues in the spirit of the Interfaith Clergy Committee’s annual Institute Day program (“Promoting Civil Discourse in a Polarized Nation: People of Faith Respond”); the Delray Beach Interfaith Clergy Association’s First Interfaith Harvest Dinner; the 9^th Annual Family Interfaith Picnic hosted by New Africa of the Palm Beaches; and the recent examination of Focolare founder Chiara Lubich’s 1997 address to a gathering of 3,000 at Harlem’s historic Malcolm Shabazz Mosque.

Journey with us as we again seek to learn about each other rather than define or convert each other, learn to be the first to love the other, and develop exemplary models for interreligious interaction and cooperation.

No admission fee; donations accepted.

Organized by New Africa of the Palm Beaches and the Focolare of South Florida.
