The 27th Annual Spring Colloquium
The New Mexico Interfaith Dialogue invites you to attend our virtual 2022 Spring Colloquium: Faith in Challenging Times
Sunday, May 15, 2022, 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Following a two-year Colloquium hiatus during Covid and recognizing the time’s many life-altering events, we look forward to our speakers helping us meet challenges yet to come as we consider questions such as:
1. How does your faith tradition define faith? Is it an entity, an action, a relationship, or something other? What examples support this definition?
2. What keeps faith alive, and what is our responsibility? Do we expect God to carry the load?
3. How do difficulties and challenges offer opportunities for individuals and faith communities to grow?
4. We see the phrase “In God we trust” on US coins. What does it mean to trust in God and how is this expressed?
