“Interfaith Amigos” to Speak at Dinner and Lecture

Plans are set for an interfaith dinner, Thursday, March 7, 6 p.m., at College View Church, 4801 Prescott Ave. The event aims to bring together Muslims, Jews and Christians under the theme, “Family Values in Abrahamic Traditions.”

This year’s event will feature The Interfaith Amigos. Rabbi Ted Falcon is known as a spiritual guide, author, therapist and teacher of Jewish meditation. Imam Jamal Rahman is a popular speaker on Islam, Sufi spirituality, and interfaith relations. Together they have spoken widely, exploring the frontiers of interfaith spirituality.
At this event they will be joined by Christian minister from the Lincoln-Omaha area.

The dinner will include a brief talk by the Interfaith Amigos. The cost is $15 per person; advance tickets are required. Because a similar event last year sold out in less than a week, organizers have added a free lecture at 7:30 p.m. following the dinner. The lecture is open to the public, however registration is required to ensure adequate seating. To purchase tickets for the dinner or register for the lecture, visit www.niagarafoundation.org/nebraska.

This gathering of the Abrahamic faiths is sponsored by Saint Paul Church, Westminster Church, Union College, the Niagara Foundation, ARYA, Interchurch Ministries of Nebraska and south street Temple.
