How To Be An Interfaith Ally
\n
The recent shootings at two mos
ques in New Zealand\, as well as similar tragedies at a Pittsburgh synagog
ue and other places of worship\, have left many people with questions:
\n
\n- What are some of the underlying similarities and crucial diffe
rences in these tragedies?\n
\n- How do I respond to friends and col
leagues who are feeling afraid\, angry\, or hopeless about violence inflic
ted on their places of worship and communities?\n
\n- What can I do
to increase solidarity in my circles and be a good interfaith ally in thes
e hard times?
\n
\n
Join us for a homemade vegan lunch\, deep co
nversation and some skill-building to become a better interfaith ally. We
welcome all people ages 18 and up from all faith and philosophical traditi
ons.
\n
This event is organized by The Guibord Center – Religion Insi

\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nAre you a person of faith who loves al
l kinds of creatures? Ever notice that most religious traditions don’t see
m to say much about how we should treat them? The Rev. Dr. Gwynne Guibord\
, The Guibord Center’s Founder and President Emerita and a longtime fan of
Animal Defenders International\, decided to rectify that situation.\nIn 2
017-18\, as part of its support for ADI—a nonprofit that advocates with go
vernments worldwide to ban the use of animals in circuses\, laboratory tes
ting\, and other inhumane practices—The Guibord Center funded and produced
ANIMA: Animals. Faith. Compassion. This short film highlights the core be
liefs of a dozen spiritual traditions in support of compassion for animals
. In doing so\, ANIMA brings the missing voice of faith into the conversat
ion on animals and their treatment.\nWe invite you to join us for a vegan
meal and viewing/discussion of ANIMA with Dr. Lo Sprague\, President of Th
e Guibord Center and the film’s executive producer\, and ADI representativ
es. Dr. Lo will share about the making of this important documentary and t
he support it’s received from many local faith leaders. ADI staff will dis
cuss the film’s impact on ADI’s advocacy and their work to return captive
animals to sanctuaries in their native lands.\nThis free public event is o
rganized by The Guibord Center – Religion Inside Out and hosted by UCC Sim
i\, a welcoming and affirming congregation. Special thanks to the Simi Val
