SUMMARY:Scriptural Reasoning: "Abraham’s Hospitality"
DESCRIPTION:Scriptural Reasoning (SR) is a practice where Christians\, Jews\, and Muslims study each other’s sacred texts. SR participants meet once a month to read short passages from their respective scriptures on a certain topic. Facilitated by a study leader\, each session is an opportunity to listen and share various perspectives. SR sessions help participants reflect on a curious list of topics within the Abrahamic tradition. The result is often a deeper understanding of others and one’s own scriptures\, as well as the development of strong bonds across faith communities. \nYou can find this month’s themed text pack here. \nWe would like to thank Rose Castle Foundation for their permission to use www.scripturalreasoning.org content.

SUMMARY:Say YES (Youth Empowerment Solutions) to Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:On December 11\, young leaders gathered and engaged in stimulating exchanges on how we can grow and be better supporters of Universal Human Rights! \nTo be young in 2020 is powerful because we are witnesses to the drastic changes that can happen in a short amount of time – good and bad. We have learned that our actions and inactions have an immense impact which is augmented when we unite with others. \nIn this context\, it is a call to our world’s youth\, who can often feel small as they battle to find their voice amidst issues that seem larger than life. Rumi Forum is dedicated to listening to these rising voices\, which is why we planned a virtual event for International Human Rights Day on December 11th\, 2020. \nCheck out our bi-weekly blogs\, which will serve as one of our mediums for sparking discussions around various topics of human rights and disseminating updates for the main event. \nSolving Old Problems with Fresh Perspectives: A Call to Youth Leaders \nCollecting the Youth Perspective Together: #RISE4Rights \nWhat do you think about human rights? – Make your voices be heard! \nInstitutions and Individuals Working in Support of Universal Human Rights \nR.I.S.E and Recover \nSmall Steps to Change the World \nPANELISTS:\nHazami Barmada \nHazami is the founder of the Humanity Lab Foundation\, an innovative US-based non-profit organization which works to unlock human potential and democratize access to the power that shapes the world.

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion: Purple
DESCRIPTION:PURPLE tells the story of everyday Americans with opposing viewpoints addressing their differences head-on and discovering the concerns and humanity that lie behind each other’s positions. Designed to build greater empathy and recognition in the face of deepening U.S. divides\, PURPLE models a rare conversation that uplifts and inspires even while going toward the heat of passionate political differences.​​ \nThe film takes place in rural Wisconsin and Iowa\, two swing states where “red” and “blue” still live in the same neighbourhoods and where many people feel unrepresented by the two-party system. This politically pivotal region was home to the greatest concentration of counties that flipped Obama-to-Trump in the 2016 presidential election. \nHere is the teaser link of the film: \n\n  \nHere is your official link to the film:
