Speakers: Ronald J. Young and Rev. Carol A. Jensen will discuss "Crossing Boundaries: the Challenge of Creating Community in the 21st Century". In the wake of September 11th, do we have a different perspective on building just and inclusive communities and nations? What divides us? What can unite us? What is the role of religion in creating community? Our speakers will help us wrestle with these local and global issues. Carol is the pastor of St. John United Lutheran Church in Seattle and boardmember/chairperson of a number of Seattle neighborhood associations. Ron Young is the Director of the US Interreligious Committee for Peace in the Middle East and author of Missed Opportunities for Peace: U.S. Middle East Policy, 1981-86, a book praised by Jewish and Palestinian American leaders, as well as by prominent U.S. policy analysts. Together, this dynamic couple will explore the local and global challenges facing diverse communities.
