There is evil in this world. We see it every day in the murder and mayhem that trouble our lives. The world’s great religions have an explanation for this and different ways to describe the battle between good and evil. Those who do not subscribe to a religious tradition have their own perceptions of evil and good. How does your belief system describe both forces and how does it help you cope with the notion that evil exists in this world? Has your faith ever been shaken by the evil around you?
SpokaneFāVS will be hosting their first Coffee Talk of the new year on the on the first floor of the Spokane Central Library in Room B. There is ample downtown parking, including the garage at River Park Square, and parking at the library for a small charge.
