Becoming a Beloved Community

63 years ago Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned the USA to become a “Beloved Community”. 63 years later it is obvious we have not become a “Beloved Community”. We are planning a different approach than other dialogues. After an opening Sam introduction that will include the MLK “Beloved Community” vision, Rabbi Michael Davis, and Naim Ballout will take 5-10 minutes each to share their religious cultural story based on the story/life of Abraham. Then the panelists as well as the listening audience will have time to ask questions. We also hope that the panelist of varied religions and the listening audience will make remarks regarding what they share in common.
