Thanks for another amazing Coffee Talk

This morning Spokane Faith & Values hosted its second Coffee Talk, this time at Boots Bakery and Lounge.

Thank you, dear readers, for another succesful event! About 30 people attended the discussion, which was about "Violence and the Sacred." Our panelists included the Rev. Liv Larson Andrews, Pastor Eric Blauer, Sam Fletcher, Rev. Joe Niemiec Jr., Joe Newby and Colleen McClean. Not only did we discuss how violence is weaved into religious traditions, but also how as a community we can become more peaceful.

Panelists and attendees, what were your thoughts on today's conversation?

Our next Coffee Talk will be March 2. The topic and location have yet to be determined.
