 World’s Religions & Philosophies
 Wednesday, March 28, 2012 * 6:15pm-9pm 

 On Wednesday, March 28, we will gather for our second member meeting, which will include a short business meeting followed by an educational event. 

 During the business meeting (6:15-6:45pm), we will break out into committees. All members are invited to serve on a committee (and we hope you will!): the Social Justice Committee, the Development and Membership Committee, the Interreligious Dialogue Committee, or the Annual Dinner Committee. Even if you are not a member, we invite you to come to the meeting and explore how you might become involved with St. Louis’ vibrant interfaith community. 

 The 51st meeting of St. Louis’ Dialogue Group of the World’s Religions and Philosophies will be held from 7 to 9pm in the Wool Ballroom, the lower level of Busch Student Center (corner of Grand and Laclede) at Saint Louis University. Parking is available in the garage on Laclede, just west of Grand. This event is free and open to the public. 

 The following will discuss the role of women in their religions: Dr. Binwant Kaur Singh of Sikhism, Venerable Miao Han of Chinese Buddhism, Jeannette Thompson of the Baha’i Faith, Mary Pedersen of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Maryl Walters of the Church of Christ, Scientist.

Women’s Interfaith Conference (Men are welcome, too!)

Wednesday, April 18, 2012 * 8:30am-2:30pm 

You are cordially invited to attend the 32nd Annual Women’s Interfaith Conference, “Women of Faith: Share What We Believe and Why We Believe It – Part II.” We will gather on Wednesday, April 18, from 8:30am to 2:30pm at Congregation B’nai Amoona (312 South Mason Road, near Conway Road). The conference costs $10 per person, including lunch. (Please note that in respect for the Kosher traditions on B’nai Amoona, no outside food may be brought into the conference.) 

This year’s conference is a deepening of the conversation that started at last year’s event, with new presenters, offering perspectives from faith groups that we frequently hear less from.
