Part of a Four-Part Virtual Series Commemorating the 800th Anniversary of the Easter of Francis of Assisi
Presented in collaboration with Shalom Spirituality Center and the Franciscan Federation

Join Sr. Kathleen Warren, OSF for a powerful exploration of the historic meeting between St. Francis of Assisi and Sultan Malek al-Kamil during the Fifth Crusade. In a time marked by violence and division, this extraordinary encounter offers enduring lessons on peaceful dialogue, mutual respect, and the possibility of transformation across seemingly insurmountable boundaries.

Drawing from Franciscan tradition and interfaith scholarship, Sr. Kathleen will guide participants in reflecting on how this 800-year-old story might illuminate paths toward healing and right relationship in our own time.
