Tues, Feb 6: Forward in Faith: Toward Gender Equity in Religious Communities
7-8:30 pm, Multi-Faith Centre
Want to learn about gender egalitarian efforts within different faith communities? For many of us, we turn to our religious traditions for guidance in morality and paths toward justice. So what does that look like in 2018 with regard to gender? Join us to hear about how different faiths are forwarding the interests of their members of all genders. With Rabbi Julia Appel (Senior Jewish Educator and Campus Rabbi, UofT Hillel), Rev. Andrea Budgy (Humphrys Chaplain to the University of Trinity College), and El-Farouk Khaki (founder of Salaam: Queer Muslim Community & Imam of Toronto Unity Mosque) https://www.facebook.com/events/548965198793905/
