Upcoming - Annual Gandhi-King Peace Conference, October 22-24
A major peace conference
at
Christian Brothers University, Memphis. Further information at http://www.gandhikingconference.org/
We would like to seriously consider having an information table at
this, if we can find volunteers to staff it. What literature would
people like to have available? The country is having quite a
burst of religious intolerance now, and we need to have information
available for peace conference attendees.
email admin@memphisirg.org
or call 901-327-9735 for more information.
One of our purposes is to give people
the opportunity to mix and talk with those of other faiths.
PLEASE get out and go to events where there is a chance to meet
socially and talk.
Remember, if you want
to start interfaith talk, go to the other guy's place!
(Please let us know of events we should list here. The way to

We haven't used this site to list religious services per
se. By all means call and ask
us if you'd like schedules or company to go religious services of a
group you haven't visited before. If
you'd like to know what a sermon in one of the other places is like,
without actually going, there are pointers to on-line sermons on our Book Page.
