Sun, Feb 7, 11am: “The Scylla and Charybdis” worship service lead by Rev. Arthur Lavoie. In his book, Acts of Faith, Eboo Patel describes the Scylla and Charybdis, two sea monsters of Greek mythology, as opposing points in our quest for interfaith dialog or, one could suggest, any dialog that bridges our differences. His story is a bold and exciting one in our search for a deeper understanding of other faith and ethnic traditions.
Read Wikipedia articles on the Scylla and Charybdis and on Eboo Patel.

Many of us may also ask, ‘Why does God allow this to happen?’”
