With reported anti-Semitic incidents and Anti-Muslim hate crimes in the U.S. on the upswing, according to the Anti-Defamation League and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, respectively, there’s no doubt that religious violence in American and throughout the world appears to be rising.

Community Church of Mill Valley leaders say now is the time to have conversations on finding the path toward religious tolerance. To that end, they are hosting a “Religious Tolerance in America: Ending the Violence of Religious Prejudice” panel discussion on Sunday, Feb. 24, 4-5:30pm.   

The panel includes Mark Noguchi, who was raised in and practices the teachings of Buddhism and has studied Christianity and Judaism; Matt Kahn, currently director of the American Jewish Committee in San Francisco, who has worked in interfaith organizations for much of his life; and Khadija Hansia, a Muslim, and the lead volunteer at the Islamic Center of Mill Valley. The church’s minister, Stephen Hinerman, who has taught world religions at Las Positas College for a number of years, will moderate.

The 411: Community Church of Mill Valley hosts a “Religious Tolerance in America: Ending the Violence of Religious Prejudice” panel discussion on Sunday, Feb. 24, 4-5:30pm. Free. Refreshments will be served. MORE INFO.
