"FAITH IN ACTION": A
Panel Presentation on
Religion and Social
Change
This panel discussion
will offer a
conversation about the
many ways that faith and
religion move believers
to action. Panelists
will explore the
different motivations
and means that have been
used by faith
communities and leaders
to alter congregations,
communities, and the
greater world. War,
racism, class issues,
poverty, sexism, and
environmental justice
are all issues that have
been and continue to be
engaged by faith
communities in ways that
are sometimes
traditional, sometimes
radical, sometimes
everyday, and sometimes
revolutionary. Our
panelists will discuss
what justice,
transformation, and
social change mean to
them and their
traditions. This event
will take place at the
Church Center, 777
United Nations Plaza -
12th Floor from
5:30-7:30 pm
