The third event in a four-part series of interfaith conversations exploring the ways faith traditions and service organizations encourage soulful wellbeing in our communities. This week, panelists explore methods of community outreach. For adults.

This fall, LA County Library offers a series of virtual roundtable conversations exploring the intersections between community service in libraries and in faith organizations. These interfaith dialogues will bring together religious leaders from a diversity of traditions to discuss the ways in which libraries and faith-based organizations can work side by side to encourage soulful wellbeing in our communities. The purpose of these conversations is to encourage a broader understanding of the types of organizations that provide care and service to our communities, an understanding that promotes opportunities for partnership and connection between libraries and faith organizations. 

The third event in this series is titled “Putting It Into Practice,” and will focus on the techniques and resources used in our organizations to deliver support or inspiration to members of our communities. How do service providers and religious leaders determine what communities and individuals need to thrive, and what methods are used in providing care? Joining the conversation this week are Rev. Jana Milhon-Martin, Rabbi Heather Miller, and Nirinjan Singh Khalsa.  

The Rev. Jana Milhon-Martin is an Episcopal priest and CPE Diplomate Supervisor. She currently serves as the Director for The Center for Lay Chaplaincy in the Los Angeles Episcopal Diocese. Rabbi Heather Miller is the founder of Keeping It Sacred, a global community dedicated to the intrepid exploration of sacred texts, the practice of meaningful rituals, and the unwavering pursuit of social justice. Nirinjan Singh Khalsa has served as a Commissioner on the City of Los Angeles Human Relations Commission for more than fifteen years and is the Executive Director of the California Sikh Council.
