Join us for the conclusion of our 6-part series with parishioner Dr. Elizabeth Ursic that introduces the beliefs and practices of six of the major world religions. We started last spring with the oldest and covered Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and are now poised to continue with the Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These evenings will be tailored for our Saint Barnabas community and will include time for questions as well as discussion and reflection.
