“The Way of Compassion: Buddha and Jesus as Siblings”: COMMUNITY WORSHIP: Sept 29, 2024

Although many things differentiate the life and teaching of Siddhartha Gautama and Jesus of Nazareth, both centered compassion and care in everything they said and did. Today’s service will explore what it means to be compassionate, and the role compassion plays in the ministries of Buddha and Jesus.
