Film Focuses on Interfaith Relationships
A film that explores the lives a Muslim and Jewish leader in medieval Islamic Spain will be shown at 6 p.m. Sunday, July 10 at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in an interfaith gathering for all faith communities.
The screening of the documentary, “Out of Cordoba: Averroes and Maimonides in Their Time and Ours,” reflects on contemporary interfaith relations between Muslims, Jews, and Christians, and modern day religious extremism and xenophobia.
A discussion with director Jacob Bender will follow the screening at the church,
428 Park Avenue.

The public is invited to a talk by Tom Osborne, a California historian and Indy environmental columnist, who will speak at the 10:30 a.m. service Sunday, July 10, of Laguna’s Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.
Osborne will speak on the way in which public and private interests can coalesce on the issue of open space, said Jean Raun, the fellowship’s spokeswoman.
A sandwich lunch and discussion with the speaker follow the service, 429 Cypress Drive.
