Evangelical Christian – Zen Buddhist Dialogues

Join us for our monthly dialogue series between Zen Buddhists and Evangelical Christians! Vegetarian food will be enjoyed with one another as we create a space to build meaningful relationships with each other while holding very different views on various matters of faith and practice. We go through our convictions rather than around them or stopping short at them in multi-faith discourse.

Maximize—Don’t Marginalize, Week 5 – Race and Policing: Black and Blue Lives Matter

Race and Policing: Black and Blue Lives Matter with Chaplain Paul Lyda and Pastor Cliff Chappell. This session will seek to account for various injustices, including how we all too easily minimize people based on their skin color or the badge and uniform they wear. We need to ‘police’ our societal structures so that we can move to protect one another—black lives and blue lives—and enhance justice and dignity for all.

Maximize—Don’t Marginalize, Week 6 – LGBTQ+ Youth: Fostering Care Close to Home

LGBTQ+ Youth: Fostering Care Close to Home. This session will bring together those of affirming and non-affirming theological positions to care for the hurting, in this case gay youth. The common denominator of human dignity and decency must take precedence, as in the case of the Samaritan in Jesus’ account of neighbor love in Luke 10.
