AUBURN — All who are interested in bringing people of different backgrounds together, and doing so in a way that builds a better community for all, are invited to an organizational meeting Sunday, March 10.

The Maine Multifaith Center for Spiritual Practice and Social Action is inviting interested people in the L/A area to meet at 3 p.m. at Temple Shalom Synagogue, 74 Bradman St.

The convener of the meeting is Rabbi Hillel Katzir of Temple Shalom, who has also been on the Portland-based steering committee of the Wellspring Multifaith Center since its inception.

“This meeting actually grows out of a program we had at Temple Shalom in January as part of the Martin Luther King Holiday observances,” Katzir related. “During a discussion, quite a few members of the audience at that program asked if there was a way we could keep the dialogue going. My involvement in Wellspring made it seem natural to start an L/A chapter of the center.”

Katzir said that people of all faiths, or no faith, are welcome. “We all want to build a better world for ourselves and each other,” he said. “Ideas for how to do that come from people with different faiths, and from people who consider themselves atheists or agnostics. We all have something to learn from each other.”

Katzir is asking that people who come to the meeting bring two things: first, something about their own beliefs that they would like other people to know; and second, an idea for a community project that the new group can take on.

For further information about the Wellspring Center, and the meeting on Sunday, Rabbi Katzir invites people to contact him by telephone at 786-4201 during office hours; by email at [email protected]; or to look at the center’s website, wellspringcentermaine.org, or their Facebook page, WellspringMultifaith.
