FāVS News News and Commentary about Religion and Ethics in Eastern Washington and North Idaho
Next month One Peace, Many Paths — a spiritually-oriented peace group in Spokane — will host a an interfaith potluck and dialogue event.
Dubbed “Speed Faithing,” the event will feature a spin-off of speed dating, where in a small group setting participants will explore questions related to perspectives and life choices impacted by various faiths. The idea comes from the 2018 Parliament of the Worlds Religions.
According to a press release, topics of discussion will include gratitude, environmental responsibility, relationship to the divine, peace and justice and more.
Guests are asked to bring a dish to share.
Speed Faithing will take place March 23 from 6-8:30 p.m. at SGI-USA Spokane Buddhist Center, 1717 W. 6th.
Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP by emailing onepeacemanypaths@gmail.com.
