EXPLORING THE BIBLE TOGETHER: Mondays, Jan. 26 and Feb. 23; 12-1:30 p.m.; St. Ann Church, 4905 Roswell Rd, Marietta. Join the parish once a month to explore passages from the Bible through the lenses of different faith traditions. Led by Rabbi Slomovitz and Father Lamartine, each session will include a reading of Scripture, followed by thoughtful explanations from both the Jewish and Catholic perspectives. Together, we'll engage in respectful, nonjudgmental dialogue that honors differences while celebrating shared values. The goal of this group is to foster friendship between the communities, promote mutual understanding, and remind that people of various faiths are often more alike than different.
