Hello, Friends!

Starting Saturday, March 16th until Saturday, March 23rd, I will be participating in the Interfaith Center of Greater Philadelphia’s Interfaith Encounters Alternative Break program with the University of Wisconsin Eau-Claire.

We will be visiting 8-9 different faith communities in order to learn about and experience their faith practices, and to reflect on our experiences and encounters. We will also engage in service-learning and social justice advocacy with various Philly-based organizations.

Follow us on our journey!

Peace,

Josh
