Let's Unite in Faith
Even as our world becomes more polarized, our shared values of love, justice and welcome remain unchanged. During this critical time, we must find common ground and live out the values that our faith demands. Join CWS on September 6 for an interactive virtual summit focused on encouraging people of faith to remain steadfast during this uncertain time, while building a toolbox to tackle political polarization in your congregation.
