The Rev. Charlie Curb Center is proud to sponsor Faith250, a national program inviting faith communities to gather around America's sacred texts — listening to one another, clarifying shared civic values and celebrating our hopes for the nation.
This August, faith leaders from across Nashville will host four evening dinner and discussion events bringing together community members to read, discuss and reflect on some of America's most important historical documents. Each session begins with a light meal, followed by a brief presentation and guided table discussion. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required.
