And Who is My Neighbor? New Wi-ACT Four-Part Series
We are excited to share a new opportunity for community building and education. The Wilton Clergy Association, the Wilton Interfaith Action Committee (Wi-ACT), and the Wilton Library are sponsoring: AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? How Our Community Can Respond to Differences, Divisions and Conflicts. This will be a four part series that takes place on March 10, 17, 24, and 31 from 7:30-8:30 pm at the Wilton Library. More details about the specific sessions will be coming soon, but we are pleased to announce that Rabbi Bearman will be participating in the fourth session (March 31) which will include a panel of local clergy. PLEASE NOTE: Because of this community-wide opportunity, we will be postponing the previously-announced Adult Ed sessions on "Climbing Your Family Tree".
