An Abrahamic Faith Discussion
We want to thank all that came online to listen and learn to the Virtual dialogue discussion on July 9th. We most certainly thank Imam Haque, Pastor Matthews, Pastor Blue and Dr Cohen for sharing their thoughts with us with regards to Racism in the Abrahamic Faiths. We look forward to furthering this conversation in our upcoming events as well.
