For many, hope is hard to come by due to world events and personal struggles. This program, to be held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, will provide access to spirit-based sources of hope. Advent, Hanukkah, the Winter Solstice, the anniversary of the historical Buddha’s enlightenment, and other faith-filled celebrations occur during December. Each in its own way engenders hope among devotees. Selected readings and works of art will reveal sources of hope related to the season and its holidays. Participants will be encouraged to respond with words of hope from their own spiritual perspectives.

Facilitated by Rev. John B. Hougen, PhD, Coordinator of the Art of Interfaith Understanding series, and Joanne Conway (Spiritual Director)

This Art of Interfaith Understanding program is sponsored by the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Division for Community Engagement, and the Church of St. Martin in the Fields, Philadelphia. Register below.
