Sharing Sacred Texts: Messages of Peace and Nonviolence

The third season of programming for Sharing Sacred Spaces begins this Sunday, February 16, 2014, 2:30 – 4:00 p.m. in Buchanan Chapel at Fourth Presbyterian Church, 126 E. Chestnut St.

This year-long series of events focused on Sharing Sacred Texts will take place in a variety of sacred spaces in Chicago. It offers opportunity to share and reflect upon the written religious traditions embedded in Chicago’s history.

Sharing Sacred Spaces is an organization of area congregations that facilitates interreligious community-building through shared religious services, open demonstrations of religious practices, and engaged dialogue among traditions, thus supporting Chicago’s interfaith community.

Come, bring friends, participate and make new interfaith friends at the reception following Fourth Presbyterian’s program this Sunday.

The seven-story structure maximizes the prominent six-sided site at the intersection of Wacker and Wabash. The primary church auditorium is styled after the layout of a Greek amphitheater, with walls clad in travertine and a centrally located wood podium.
