PANEL
DISCUSSION – MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2017
RELIGIOUS
PLURALISM IN AMERICA: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOUR NEIGHBOR
The Brookings Human Rights Commission and the Brookings
Interfaith Council will host the Community Common Read panel discussion
“Religious Pluralism in America: A Day in the Life of Your Neighbor” on Monday,
October 23, 2017 at 6:30 pm in the City & County Government Center 3rd
Floor Chambers. The panel will consist of community members from various faith
traditions who will provide overviews of their faiths and share their experiences
in the community. A short question and answer session will follow. Refreshments
will be served at 6 pm, with the forum beginning at 6:30 pm.
This panel discussion is one in a series of events in the Campus/Community
Common Read program, designed to enhance engagement with the book How Does It Feel to Be a Problem? by
Moustafa Bayoumi. In addition to the panel discussion, each week the Brookings
Register will publish an article written by one of the panelists. These
articles will strengthen community discussion regarding religious diversity by
providing a deeper understanding of the panelists’ backgrounds and experiences.
Take advantage of this opportunity to unite with the
Brookings and SDSU communities to expand our understanding of and appreciation
for religious diversity. For more information, please contact (605) 692-6281 or
humanrights@cityofbrookings.org.
