Speakers: Imam Ibrahim Kazerooni, Shiite Cleric & Scholar of the Holy Qur’an
& Rev. Toni Cook, Minister of St. Paul Church
Ibrahim
and Toni will be sharing personal experience and insight from
their traditions. Also, they will be including thoughts on the
new book by Karen Armstrong, The Case for God. She says that Ancient religious traditions, like Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam understood faith primarily as a practice rather than a system.
“ Their God was not a being to be defined or a proposition to
be tested, but an ultimate reality to be approached…”

THE
SUNDAY MEAL PROGRAM
The Sunday Meal Program at St. Paul
Church is now in its 23rd year of providing a free, hot meal every Sunday morning
to the homeless and others who are hungry! In the last two years, we have seen
a steady increase of meal guests. In 2009, we served over 8,000 meals. But
financial support is decreasing even as demand is increasing. Your support
is needed to continue the program. Please contribute to the Sunday Meal Program.
You can place your donation in an offering plate or mail it to St. Paul Church,
1615 Ogden, Denver, CO 80218 (mark in the memo: SMP). We can do this together!
Thank-You!
