Interfaith Forums

3 Past Events

The Ventura County Interfaith Community proudly announces two forums which will examine the similarities and differences in the core values held by different religions as well as the ideas that support those values.

The first of these forums will take place on March 30th from 7:30 to 9:00 at Padre Serra Catholic Church. The church is located at 5205 Upland Road, Camarillo, 93012. This forum is presented in conjunction with the Catholic Diocese’s University Series, and as such charges a modest admission of $8.00 per couple.

The second of these forums is free of charge and takes place on April 6 from 7:30 to 9:00 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at 1201 Paseo Camarillo Drive, Camarillo, 93010.

In total, there will be ten speakers with five participating in each of the events. Attached is a flyer with details on the two events.

We hope that you will join us for these exciting forums.
