UPDATE: Because of the weather, the event has been postponed. We’ll let you know when it’s been rescheduled.
This evening, I’ll be part of an interfaith panel sponsored by United Black Ellument. Everyone’s welcome to join us.
The event will be held at the SGI-USA Cultural Center at 13608 Midway Road just north of Alpha Road. Soka Gakkai International–USA (SGI) is a Buddhist association for peace, culture, and education. Members seek, through their practice of Buddhism, to develop the ability to live with confidence, to create value in any circumstance and to contribute to the well-being of friends, family and community.
The Buddhist faith is among the five that will be represented. I’ll be doing the Jews, and God only knows what will come out of my mouth. Hopefully, no one will ask me about Hannukah. I can’t stand Hannukah. Lots of other things to talk about us quirky, loudmouth left-wing Jews.
Islam, Christianity and Atheism will also be presented by members of those faiths and traditions.
United Black Ellument, a program of Resource Center, is dedicated to building Dallas’ young black gay and bisexual men’s community. By creating new ways for young men to come together, meet, socialize and support each other, U-BE provides alternative social events and opportunities for gay and bisexual men to promote their diversity, well-being and strength as individuals and as a community.
This evening’s event should be a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing a nice crowd.
