Voices of Faith and Belief--a series at Wake Forest

Beginning Monday, February 1, 2010
Time: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Location: Room 407, Benson Center
Description: Voices of Faith and Belief: Associate Chaplain Khalid Griggs is part of a 10-week series providing students opportunities for intentional engagement and dialogue with people of various faiths and beliefs.

This is not a debate or class, but rather a time for respectful and authentic conversation with a different speaker each Monday evening. The emphasis is not to completely understand facts about the world's religions, but to hear people from our community talk about what their faith and beliefs mean to them. It is a great opportunity to ask questions you may have about various traditions.

Other speakers will include Rabbi Josh Brown, Manjunath Sumanna, Fr. Jude DeAngelo,
Jamin Rowan.
