Weds. Jan. 22, 4-5:30 pm,
Central Library, 1301 Olive St., St. Louis
Join Leslie Heberlie of Interfaith Partnership and Claire Droste
of Diversity Awareness Partnership as they lead a discussion on Eboo Patel's Acts of Faith. This
is a remarkable account of growing up Muslim in America, and coming to believe in
religious pluralism, from one of the most prominent faith leaders in the United
States. Eboo Patel’s story is a hopeful and moving testament to the power and
passion of young people—and of the world-changing potential of an interfaith
youth movement. You do not need to have read the book to get something
meaningful out of this discussion. The leaders will introduce attendees to the
book's premise and outline the narrative before drawing in key concerns about
religious identity and discrimination, plus why interfaith work is an essential
concern for all persons today. Contact Kim Parks at 314-359-0357 or kparks@slpl.org for more
information/directions for this event.
