Trinity Co-Sponsors "Many Religions, One Community"

This evening, six Trinity parishioners will be among those leading an interfaith conference this evening at Hartford Seminary. Organized by Trinity parishioner Kim DeMichele, the gathering of some 200 area religious leaders will consider lessons for interfaith relations in the 21st century through the lens of medieval Islamic Spain. The evening will feature a dinner, a viewing of the film Cities of Light: The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain, small group discussions on the film and reflections on how everyone can contribute to interfaith understanding and dialogue.


The Trinity parishioners who are helping to lead the discussions are Lily Miller, John Hinkston, Kim Litsey, Al Shuckra, Don Hamer, and Gary DeMichele. The program is offered as a joint project of Public Agenda and 20,000 Dialogues, and is co-sponsored in Hartford by Hartford Seminary, Trinity Episcopal Church and several other area organizations. Unfortunately, registration is closed for this event, but I will share follow-up on the event here and in future programs at Trinity. Thanks to Kim DeMichele for her special leadership in bringing this event to Hartford.l



Have a blessed day! Your brother in Christ, Don+
