What Do People Believe: A Look at World Religions (What Do Christians Believe?)

Understanding may be the key to coexistence; therefore, it’s important to understand how other peoples understand God and their relationship with the divine. Beginning on January 8, at 6:30 p.m., we’re starting a new study entitled What They Believe. For seven weeks, we’re focused on some of the major world religions.
