Learn about The World's Religions

April 25 | 1:30-2:30pm | Zoom

**Alternate time after the finance meeting**

This week join us in learning about Indigenous African religions and their counterparts in the Americas (like voodoo and santeria) which have long been considered "frightening." Because these are often closed traditions, many people rely on media representations, most often found in horror movies, to form their opinions of these traditions. Lynn Brown, scholar and practitioner will talk about these traditions, their history and to dispel some of the myths.

Who: Everyone ages 12+

When: Sunday from 1:30-2:30pm

Where: on Zoom, meeting ID 571-636-4277
