Permanent link for ANNOUNCING: Kaufman Interfaith Book Discussion for Fall 2023 on August 16, 2023

We are pleased to announce that our book discussion for this fall will be We Need To Build: Field Notes for Diverse Democracy by Eboo Patel, founder and president of Interfaith America.  We Need to Build is an inspirational guide for those who seek to promote positive social change and build a more diverse and just democracy.  His challenge to us is clear: those of us committed to re-founding America as a just and inclusive democracy need to defeat the things we don’t like by building the things we do.

Our first session will be a hybrid  session (in-person with a virtual connection) on Wednesday, September 20, 2023 from  2:00 to 3:30 pm. This introductory session will be held at the Kaufman Interfaith Institute’s space at the Cook DeVos Center for Health Sciences on GVSU's Downtown Campus.  After the initial introductory session, we will meet on alternate Wednesdays by Zoom starting on October 4 and running through December 13, 2023.  These sessions will be facilitated by Ms. Karen Meyers.
