Aspen Community Church invites all members of the valley and beyond to embark on a transformative journey this September and October, with an 8-week series dedicated to exploring unity, justice, and spiritual connection across the world’s faith traditions. Gathering each Sunday at 9:30 am in the heart of Aspen, the series welcomes everyone—regardless of background—for a season of thought-provoking events, open dialogue, and deep reflection.
Bridging Beliefs & Building Understanding
Throughout this series, participants will hear from distinguished voices, including Kayla Jo Slauson, who will share Hinduism’s vision of interconnectedness; Howie Wallach, guiding us through the art of bridging difficult conversations; Rabbi Mendel Mintz, highlighting Judaism’s unwavering commitment to justice; and Calvin Hill, illuminating Indigenous reverence for creation.
Aspen Community Church’s initiative seeks to foster engagement among those with differing beliefs, encouraging attendees to ask profound questions about unity, spiritual presence, and justice—while providing tools for meaningful interfaith conversations.
