Many of the challenges we face in our world today involve the need for greater understanding between the three Abrahamic Faiths (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam).  Join Rabbi Dr. Jacob Adler (Judaism), Rev. Dr. Philip Butin (Christianity), and Imam Abdellah Essalki (Islam) for this three-week course exploring each tradition's understanding of its scriptures, God, and the nature of human beings in relationship with God. We will share both common ground and differences found in each.

  • This program meets in person for 3 sessions at the First United Presbyterian Church, 695 E. Calvin St., Fayetteville.
