The idea for this morning's next “Coffee Talk” was spurred from guests of our previous discussions who wanted to know why we didn’t have more female panelists.

Spokane Faith & Values has 19 female contributors and 27 male contributors, a fair reflection of Spokane’s demographics.

However the comments got us thinking about gender and spirituality. How is gender equality handled in faith communities? How can or should it be improved? Though this isn’t necessarily a conversation about women’s rights, we’d like to provide a platform for the community to dialogue about how men and women can better work together.

Join us for an honest conversation about this issue at our next event, which will be at 10 a.m. March 2 at Indaba Coffee Bar.

More details are available on our Facebook page.
