The Awakening
The First Interfaith Forum & Community Breakfast
The Soul Sanctuary Inc.,
Saturday, October 7, 2006
Nova Southeastern University

This forum is designed to teach on the rippling effects of domestic violence in the faith community. The day-long event will begin with a Community Breakfast where a notable keynote speaker will address the very secret issues facing the marriage bed of the faith community; domestic violence.

Immediately following attendees will be invited to participate in a riveting forum discussion on domestic violence. A well known facilitator will question experts, educators, and victims to get to the heart of the issue and then open the floor for questions. The Forum will be an educational awakening on domestic violence, empowering attendees to gain knowledge and to embrace faith in an effort to overcome the adversities associated with domestic violence.

Through The Forum's frank discussion, attendees will be challenged to leave with a different state of mind; to be an active participant of life, making sound decisions and ultimately living the Zoë abundant life God has given us.
