Shelter in Faith: Reflections on the Religious Roots of the Current Insurrection

Join local faith leaders of diverse backgrounds as they bring us the next installment of the Shelter in Faith series: Reflections on the Religious Roots of the Current Insurrection. Through this partnership with the Tent of Abraham, panelists explore how the events we all witnessed on January 6 are the direct result of the rise of Christian Nationalism, Anti-Semitism and Racism. Leaders will share how their faith traditions and spiritual practices can provide us guidance in these challenging times.

Guest Presenters:

Rev. Beverly Brook, Peace United Church of Christ
Rev. Deborah Johnson, Innerlight Ministries
Pastor Bobby Marchessault, Missio Dei Community
Rabbi Paula Marcus, Temple Beth El
The conversation will be moderated by Ziggy Rendler-Bregman, Tent of Abraham
This event is hosted by Santa Cruz Public Libraries in partnership with The Tent of Abraham.
