EDMOND — Thursday OKC Town Hall features Bruce Feiler
Noted author Bruce Feiler will speak about “Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths” on Thursday at the OKC Town Hall lecture series. The program will begin at 10:30 a.m. at St. Luke’s Methodist Church, 222 N.W. 15th St.
Hailed as one of the leading writers of his generation, Feiler has visited more than 60 countries, immersing himself in different cultures and recording his experiences in six critically acclaimed books. A graduate of Yale, he has a master’s degree in international relations from Cambridge and has written articles for The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Parade Magazine and The Washington Post. He wrote, produced and hosted the PBS mini-series, Walking the Bible.
In Abraham, Feiler retraces the footsteps of the common ancestors of Christians, Jews and Muslims. As Feiler says, “Abraham holds the key to understanding what separates these religions and, ultimately, what unites them.”
Individual tickets are $15. Advance ticket purchase is preferred as seating will be limited. For more information, call 848-4727 or visit www.okctownhall.com.
