Women’s Interfaith Conference 2015

Women of Faith: Embrace Responsibility, Compassion, Peace

The 35th Annual Women’s Interfaith Conference will be held on Thursday, April 23rd, 2015, at Central Reform Congregation (5020 Waterman Ave, at Kingshighway). Conference runs from 8:15am to 2:30pm and parking is available at Central Reform Congregation as well as across the street at First Unitarian Church.

The conference is designed to promote understanding, respect and cooperation among women of all faiths and to facilitate opportunities for dialogue. The ultimate goal is to involve all faith groups in the crafting of the annual conference.

• Aruna Tailor, Hinduism
