The Sacred Writings and Voices of Other Faith Traditions: Sundays in February at 9:30 am in 310

 This Sunday Group will explore the traditions, sacred writings, and voices of other faith traditions. As a church committed to interfaith dialogue, this Sunday group gives participants an opportunity to engage with practitioners of various faith traditions. We are blessed that four very special guest have agreed to lead these sessions.

o   February 4 – Tibetan Buddhism led by members of the Kadapa Center

o   February 11 – Islam, February 11, Imam Sami Kocak, Iman of the Cary Mosque

o   February 18 – The Dead Sea Scrolls, Dr. Jodi Magness (see Dr. Magness bio here)

In 1946-1947, the first Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered by accident near the site of Qumran. Eventually the remains of approximately 1000 scrolls were found in 11 caves surrounding Qumran.  In this slide-illustrated lecture, we examine the meaning and significance of the scrolls.

o   February 25, Bahá'í Community, Nancy Hendershot and other members fo the Bahá'í Community in Raleigh.
