The great world religions share many common themes, metaphors and symbols. Yet In each religion, and in world religion classes, most of the time is spent learning how the great world religions are different. This presentation will focus on the teachings, metaphors and symbols the great religions have in common. Passages from various scriptures will be used as a basis for audience participation and discussion.

Every year, our criminal justice system puts innocent people behind bars. This injustice must be addressed, and the Ohio Innocence Project takes on this mission. On Wed., 10/2, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Diocese of Columbus, and ELCA Southern Ohio Synod will present a day on the work of the OIP, hearing from both the professionals who run the program as well as several exonerees. We will also hear a legislative update on several related bills and have a chance for conversation with the exonerees.

The Depolarizing Within Workshop is a free workshop with Braver Angels that helps participants look within to see how they are engaging or participating in polarizing ways. The workshop offers participants the tools to develop strategies for engaging in political discussion without demonizing the other side. It also shows how to constructively intervene in social conversations with like-minded peers.
This workshop is designed to foster skills to recognize and lessen the effects of polarization when encountered within political conversations with your like-minded circle. When referring to “polarization,” Braver Angels is not referring to healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are looking at how we regard and talk in polarizing terms about large groups of ordinary people on the other side of the political aisle.
Goals of this workshop:
There are more cults and more types of cults than ever before. Dr. Lalich will discuss why people join, how cults operate, current developments, and red flags.
Join AJC, Adath Israel, Beth Adam, Rockdale Temple and Wise Temple for an evening of meaningful conversation and learning how to counter anti-Israel bias by leveraging historical, diverse Jewish narratives. AJC’s Dr. Soomekh is a first-generation Iranian Jew whose family is part of the Forgotten Exodus, Jews who fled from Arab lands in the mid-20th century. She shares her family’s story which dispels myths about Israel and promotes the proud heritage of Jews throughout the Middle East. Register here.
