8th Annual Interfaith Teach In on Compassion and Action
|
On January 31, 2010, over 150 people gathered at the 8th Annual Interfaith Teach In on Compassion and Action to learn from an amazing array of teachers.
Muslims, Jews, Buddhists and others sat at round tables with people of a faith or culture different than their own.
Together we created dialogues around domestic violence, the environment, healing veterans returning from war, and bereavement and terminal illness.
