FAITH & INTERFAITH
A photo-documentary by Rick Nahmias (www.goldenstatesofgrace.com) September 19 - December 12 Karpeles Manuscript Library, 21 W. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara CA 93101 free admission to the general public.
Sponsored by Just Communities Central Coast, in partnership with the Fund for Santa Barbara and the Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics, Religion, & Public Life While depictions of mainstream religion can be found in virtually every form of media, rarely seen are the sacred worlds of those marginalized by society: the outcast, the fallen, "the other." Ironically, these are the ones for whom religion was first formed, but who now worship as a means of refuge, finding redemption, and forging community where they would otherwise have none. Golden States of Grace: Prayers of the Disinherited by Rick Nahmias aims to give image and voice to some of these groups, people who, because of the world, society, or themselves, have been all but silenced. Save the Date Faith & Social Justice: The Hard Questions Thursdays, October 30, November 6, and November 13 @ 7:00-9:30pm Ongoing interfaith dialogue. Location TBA.
Listening to the Voices of the Marginalized Sunday, November 9, 2008 @ 3:00-6:00pm An interfaith event. La Casa de Maria, 800 El Bosque Rd., Montecito

Beloved Community Interfaith Initiative The Beloved Community Interfaith Initiative aims to foster dialogue and action among faith-based groups on issues of social justice facing our Central Coast Community. Our goal is not only to engage faith groups in acts of justice, but to invite them to reflect on ways that promote greater levels of inclusion and justice within their own communities. Beloved Community draws upon Just Communities' legacy as the National Conference of Christians and Jews (NCCJ) and reaffirms our commitment to inspiring, challenging, and supporting people of faith to work for social justice and liberation for all people.
