The First Presbyterian Church of Chili will offer a two-part study series, “The Many Faces of Truth: An Unbiased View of World Religions” on Sunday, October 2 and Sunday, October 30, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. at the church, 3600 Chili Avenue.
Rev. Sinnathamby Thevanesan (“Theva”) will explore a few points about other religions which will, in turn, strengthen everyone’s faith and allow all to more comfortably talk to people of varying religions.
The first session (October 2) will focus on an introduction to four of the major world religions – Judaism, Islam, Hindi and Buddhism.
The second session (October 30) will focus on Christian dialogue – “how do we talk to people of other faiths?”, “what does it mean to be in conversation with those of other faith traditions here in our local context?”
Rev. Sinnathamby was born and raised in Sri Lanka. He has a B.D.(Bachelor of Divinity) degree from the University of Serampore, India, an M.A. from Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, and is an ordained United Methodist Minister. In May 2007, Rev. Sinnathamby received the “Distinguished Alumni Award” from Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School.
This series is open to the community at no charge. Participants can attend either one or both sessions. Call the church office to reserve a seat at 889-9896.
