To Love Your Neighbor, Know Your Neighbor

---

CCIU brings together representatives of several different religions in a moderated panel discussion about their faiths. During the 1½-hour program, audience members submit written questions which are posed to the panel by the moderator, resulting in a lively, educational and insightful conversation. The host site selects which three of CCIU's nine religions will be represented by the panelists. The panelists have been selected and trained by CCIU. The event is free for both the host organization and attendees. For more information about hosting an event, please click here.

To Love Your Neighbor, Know Your Neighbor is made possible through generous grants from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving and the Hartford Bishops' Foundation of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hartford.
