ONLINE“Faith in Isolation”: A Multifaith Panel Discussion

In response to Brenda Bancel’s new photographic exhibit, “Faith in Isolation Expressed,” religious leaders from the Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions will explore the ways in which they and their communities have expressed their spiritual commitments during the pandemic. This will include discussion of prayer, meditation, study and acts of service and advocacy.

Panelists:
