Finding Inner Peace in Times of Chaos: An Interfaith Panel Discussion August 23rd!

When: Sunday, August 23rd

Where: St. John's in the Mountains Episcopal Church, 1994 Mountain Road, Stowe

Time: 2–3:00 p.m., with light refreshments afterwards

Participants: Rabbi David Fainsilber, Fr. Bob Leopold, and Monk San



The world can feel unpredictable and overwhelming. How do different faith traditions help us find peace — both within ourselves and in community with others? Join Rabbi David Fainsilber (Jewish Community of Greater Stowe), Fr. Bob Leopold (priest, St. John's in the Mountains Episcopal Church), and Monk San (resident monk, Blue Lotus Meditation Center, Venice, FL) for a conversation exploring how Jewish, Christian, and Buddhist teachings speak to fear, uncertainty, and the search for calm amid chaos.

The panel will draw on scripture, tradition, and personal practice to explore how each faith community supports its members through hard times, what history teaches us about resilience, and simple daily practices anyone can easily learn. Whether you're firmly rooted in a tradition, spiritually searching, or simply curious, this conversation is for you. All are welcome!
