Apr 28 - Meaningful Conversations: One God, Many Paths
Are the world’s great spiritual traditions more connected than we think? Bahá’í teachings say “…all religion is founded upon the love of humanity.” This gathering invites open conversation across all perspectives as we explore the Bahá’í view that the world’s religions arise from one divine source and ultimately point toward our collective progress and unity. The event is free and open to all–no donations will be accepted. Tuesday, April 28 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Indianapolis Bahá’í Center, 3740 W 62nd Street, Indianapolis.

Ideally, you will read or listen to the book in advance, but everyone is welcome regardless. Let’s discuss how we can nurture hope in our community. April 29 from 6-8 p.m.
