MONSON, MAINE • FAITH MATTERS | BUDDHISM

FAITH MATTERS is a monthly meeting sponsored by AIIA during which we examine worldviews, belief systems, and a wide variety of issues related to matters of life and truth — all through the lens of Christian apologetics. This event typically features lectures, resource reviews, and conversation geared for thinking adults and senior teens. FAITH MATTERS is open to the public. There is no admission charge. Participation is welcomed but not required. No one will be made to feel uncomfortable by being pressured to contribute to the discussion. Light refreshments are often provided.

FEATURED THIS MONTH: A review of, and a discussion on, a DVD entitled: Great World Religions: Buddhism — part of the Great Courses series. A Christian perspective and commentary will follow. Adherents of all faiths are welcome to attend.

PROGRAMMING NOTE: All topics are subject to change up to one week before the event, as circumstances warrant. Check to verify the topic within the final six days preceding the date of the program.
