We all know these are divisive and bitter times. This program\, faith250\, invites us to build a more robust\, healthy\, and interconnected interfaith and civic community. Clusters of congregations across the country will be participating. \nOn each Wednesday evening in June\, we will explore one of four foundational texts from American history: \n\nThe Declaration of Independence\nFrederick Douglass’ “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”\nThe New Colossus by Emma Lazarus\nAmerica the Beautiful by Katharine Lee Bates\n\nAn expert will help frame each text for us. Then we will gather in intentionally-created small groups.  During these conversations\, we will explore the texts from our diverse perspectives\, articulate the values we share\, deepen our relationships\, and reflect on our role as people of faith in this challenging moment. \nPlan to join your neighbors in this once-in-a generation opportunity! To read more about the program\, visit faith250.org. \nPre-registration is closed\, but you are welcome to attend and register in person. Please arrive by 6:30 p.m.
