Discussion Group To Study World Faiths

“Many Paths, One Destination” is the name of a new discussion group that will examine world religions at Covenant Christian Church, 5616 S. Palouse Highway.

The goal in forming the group, which will be led by Pastor Micahel Rice-Sauer, is to allow participants to explore other faiths and for their own faith to be deepened.

In his own study of other religions, says Rice-Sauer, he has found things that hold true in his own faith.

“I do believe that we are called to be one planet and one people,” says Rice-Sauer. His hope is not to just foster tolerance of other religions but to truly honor other religious traditions.

“We may even find that we are not that different at all,” he said.

The group first will by study Hinduism and later Buddhism, Chinese philosophy, Islam, Native American spirituality, Judaism and mysticism.

The group will meet the fourth Tuesday of each month from 7 to 9 p.m. at the church.

The discussion group is free, and all are invited to attend. Child care will be available if requested in advance. For more information, call the church office at 448-1311.

“A Conversation With Georgia O’Keefe” will be presented by Sara Edlin Marlowe at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at Spokane Unitarian Universalist Church, 4340 W. Fort George Wright Drive.

This program was originally scheduled Nov. 20 and was rescheduled due to the ice storm.
