Join us for a celebration of the Silicon Valley Interreligious Council and our work to promote a more just and compassionate community. Earlier this year, the Board of Supervisors endorsed the Charter for Compassion and declared our county to be “Compassionate Santa Clara County.” What would a compassionate county look like? Hear a panel discussion with community leaders, governmental officials, and religious leaders engage the theme. We’ll also have a guest choir, awards honoring those people who have helped make SiVIC what it is today and the chance to meet people from across the religious spectrum of Silicon Valley.

The county resolution calls upon SiVIC and its Affiliates to form a “Stewardship Group” to further cultivate compassion in the county. Share your thoughts on the role and responsibilities of such a group.

Topic: What Would a Compassionate County Look Like?
