‘Multi-Faith Perspective’ continues

AUBURN — Auburn Public Library continues a new series of programs called “Conversations: A Multi-Faith Perspective” from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 49 Spring St. The public is invited to listen in as clergy of different faiths have round-table discussions on different inter-faith topics.

The idea for these discussions started when the new Rabbi of Temple Shalom in Auburn, Sruli Dresdner, met and spent an exhilarating week with his colleagues at the Maine Police Academy, sponsored by the Auburn Police Department’s Chaplaincy Program: Pastor Roger Cousineau of East Auburn Baptist Church, the Rev. Doctor Jody Cohen Hayashida of First Universalist Church in New Auburn, and Pastor Richard Waller of the Auburn Church of the Nazarene.

The November round-table will discuss the story of Cain and Abel. Participants will be able to listen in as local religious leaders discuss their views and share their perspective among their colleagues. The audience will have an opportunity to ask questions, which must be written down on the provided notecards.
