Wilton Interfaith Series: Civility in an Age of Conflict
Tuesday, May 8, 7:00-8:30 pm
The Wilton Clergy Association, Wi-ACT and Wilton Library present Civility in an Age of Conflict on Tuesday May 8 at 7:00 at Wilton Public Library. Civility in the modern age is under attack from many quarters in what seems to be an increasingly polarized world and nation -- and even extending right down to our local community. What can we do to reverse that trend? Locally, our own Wilton High School and Middlebrook students have taken a very positive step by proclaiming compassion as their watchword. How do we promote that and other civility-enhancing steps in our own lives? Please join us for an informative and interactive program that will explore these questions.
Our speakers are Dr. Purnaka L. de Silva, Ph.D., Director of the Institute for Strategic Studies and Democracy, a think tank covering forced migration and human trafficking via Libya and the Central Mediterranean route as well as the terrorist threats posed by extremist groups such as ISIS; and, Azza Karam, Ph.D., Senior Advisor on Culture and Social Development at the U.N. Population Fund and Coordinator/Chair of the U.N. Inter-Agency Task Force on Engaging Faith-Based Organizations for Development.
Following presentations by the two main speakers, four members of the Wilton Clergy Association will each provide their own commentaries. A question & comment period with the audience will follow, along with concluding remarks. Registration is recommended and can be done on the
Wilton Library's website.

Volunteers Needed for Young Cystic Fibrosis Patients -
Driving and Dinner Meals!
From Jane Alexander: Wi-ACT is in search of volunteers to do driving from Wilton to Stamford and/or to provide dinners for young Cystic Fibrosis patients from abroad. These patients, typically in their teens but as young as 5 years old, are treated pro bono for three weeks at Wi-ACT Steering Committee Member Dr. Hossein Sadeghi's pulmonology clinic in Stamford. The results of this treatment are truly lifegiving: if these children do not receive this treatment, they will likely die within several years (or even less). If you would like to volunteer, please email Wi-ACT Steering Committee Member Linda Rost at lrost0411@gmail.com. Thank you, Jane.
