Interfaith Forum: Wrestling with Difficult Sacred Texts

Join the Interfaith Council of Southern Nevada in their 39th Season of Interfaith Forums.

Often, believers are challenged to reconcile the literal  words of sacred text that appear at odds with  contemporary understandings of equality, compassion,  and non-violence. This forum invites panelists to  explore how their traditions approach conflicting texts  for use in the modern day. 

All are invited.

Join in person at:
Las Vegas Baha’i Center, 7035 West Oakey Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89117
